To Gaius Julius […], strategos,
from Bassos son of Bassos, of those from the city of Oxyrhynchos. […] Harpokration son of Areios, coppersmith, in the so-called (quarter?) of Pammenes […] to repay […] forty […] to receive […] of the […] two. And although he ought to act justly and repay the forty drachmas of silver and the doors […], though asked many times he did not repay; and on the second of the present month Choiak of the fourth year of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, when I had settled accounts with him, he promised to give me the price of the two doors, and he did not pay, but I kept going after the doors and the 40 drachmas of silver. Therefore, taking refuge with you, I ask that Harpokration be brought before you so that he may be compelled to repay me the 40 drachmas of silver and the doors, so that I may have been benefited. Farewell.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
