Νούμηνι ἀρχισωματοφύλακι καὶ
στρατηγῶι παρὰ Ποκᾶτος τοῦ Ὀνῶτος φυλακίτου ἀμίσθου. ἀδικοῦμαι
ὑπὸ Πελαίου παστοφόρου τῶν ἐκ
Κροκοδίλων πόλεως τοῦ Παθυρίτου
Σούχου ἱερέως. τῇ γὰρ α τῶν ἐπαγομένων ἡμερῶν τοῦ ια ἔτους, ἀντιλογίαν πρός με συνστησάμενος περὶ
τινῶν ἐν τῶι προγεγραμμένωι ἱερῶι, ὁ ἐνκεκλημένος προσπηδήσας μοι ἐνώπιόν τινων ἔτυπτεν
ἧι εἶχεν ῥάβδωι πληγαῖς πλειόσιν
εἰς τὸ τυχὸν μέρος τοῦ σώματός μου. ὅ τε
περιεβλήμην, ὀθόνιον κατέρηξεν,
περὶ ὦν τοὺς παρόντας ἐπεμαρτυράμην. διὸ ἀξιῶ ἐὰν φαίνηται
συντάξαι γράψαι Κλεάρχωι τῶι ἐπιστάτη ἐξαποστεῖλαι αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σέ, ἵνʼ
ἐὰν ἦι ἃ γράφω ἀληθῆ, τύχω τοῦ δικαίου
καθὼς ἂν διαλάβης.

To Noumenios, chief bodyguard and strategos, from Pokas son of Onos, unpaid guard. I am wronged by Pelaias, pastophoros of the priests of Souchos from Krokodilonpolis in the Pathyrite nome. For on the 1st of the epagomenal days of year 11, having started a dispute with me about certain matters in the aforementioned temple, the accused leapt upon me in front of certain people and struck me with the stick he was holding, with many blows on whatever part of my body he happened to hit. And he tore the linen garment I was wearing, concerning which I called those present to witness. Therefore I ask, if it seems good, that you order a letter to be written to Klearchos the epistates to send him up to you, so that, if what I write is true, I may obtain justice as you shall decide.
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.
