[recto]
After the consulship of our lord Theodosius, eternal Augustus, for the 2nd time, and of Flavius Cynegius, vir clarissimus.
To Aurelius Zenodotos son of […]pios, former magistrate of Hermopolis the most splendid city, riparius of the Hermopolite nome,
from Flavius Isidoros, ex-beneficiarius of the office of the governor of the Thebaid.
I had indeed already often accused before you Ionas son of Eus and Hatres son of Herminos, shepherds from the village of Telbonthis, as evildoers, because not once nor twice nor three times they let loose the herds of their […] onto our crops […] them […]. But since no correction has been applied against them, for this reason again on the day before yesterday, which is Pachon […] as usual the […] they let loose into our water-machine to drink […] of their own on these same fields of mine they claimed (?) […] our shepherd […]bios by name from […]; and they, at once stripping him with clubs […], tore and took away the clothing he was wearing, then cut him down with blows on his legs and on the other limbs of his body, leaving him half-dead, as is also evident from what was reported by those who inspected the wounds, his survival being uncertain. For this reason I now submit to your eloquence this my petition, bearing witness and asking that these men be held in custody until the fortunate visit of my lord the governor; for I am most ready to prove in his undefiled court that these men are confessed robbers who have often driven off animals, and to show that the aforementioned Ionas is a murderer.
After the aforesaid consulship, Pachon 10. I, Flavius Isidoros, the aforesaid, have 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.
