To the beneficiarius stationed in the district,
from Pabous son of Stotoetis, from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos. Today, which is the 27th, Sempronius, elder of the village, and those with him came upon (us) and created an unreasonable disturbance, on the pretext of detaining my relatives Hekysis and Apynchis as boatmen (?), and they, terrified, disappeared. These men then came upon my house and committed an outrage against me, saying, "You must produce them," saying, "Let us see who it is that profits from you (?)." He is a shameless man in the village, and on every occasion he makes collections and hires out (?) the villagers, and (forced) recruits to hunt; afterwards, having been paid money, he released them. Therefore I submit (this petition) and ask that they be brought before you. Farewell.
Year 25, Pauni 27.

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.
