To King Ptolemy, greeting. I, Antigonos, am wronged by Patron, who serves as chief of police (?) in the lower toparchy. For when I had led off Kallidromos son of Kallikrates, Cyrenean of the Epigone, in year 4, Mecheir 25, to the prison at Sinary, in accordance with an order of Dorion the epistates […] in which it had been written to compel Kallidromos either to return the beast of burden to its owner or to pay the price of the donkey, 20 drachmas,

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 APIS-papyrus, TM-Text 8186 (see that record)
