... together with (?) my relatives, by
a certain Pemounios [...] and Anoubion the athlete and
Hermeias and Euthymia. For these, having joined together with one another, set upon my same brother together with
those same relatives of mine and beat them severely with blows,
so that the wounds inflicted are visible on
my same brother, and he is in danger of departing from among the living.
I have also on another occasion submitted petitions to your Clemency
against them, and a report was made
about this; and ... since the outrage is no small one,
I submit to your Clemency this petition,
asking that the aforementioned Euthymia, together with
all the other aforementioned accomplices, be brought forthwith
and be kept in custody, while I make the plea against them to my lord the
defensor for further prosecution. Farewell.
[...] I, Aurelius Beniamin, son of Joses, wrote
and submitted it.

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 33474 (see that record)
