Ζήνωνι χαίρειν Πᾶις ὁ τοῦ Πάτιτος ἀδελφός. ἀφʼ οὗ ἥκω εἰς τοὺς τόπους οὔτε
λελήισμαι οὔτε κέκλοφα οὔθʼ ἥκει καταβοῶν οὐθεὶς πρός σε κατὰ μοῦ· ἔστι δὲ ἀφʼ οὗ ἀπῆγμαι
ἤδη πεντάμηνος. ἐγλέλοιπε ἡμᾶς πάντα ὥστε καὶ τῶν ἀναγκαίων ἐνδεὴς εἶναι.
νῦν οὖν ἱκέται καταπεφεύγαμεν πρός σε. οὐκ ἔχομεν βοηθὸν ἄλλον οὐθένα ἀλλὰ σέ. ὀμνύω
τὴν σὴν τύχην καὶ τὸν βασιλέως δαίμονα ψευδῶς ἀπῆγμαι. καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπίστηι ὅτι τῶν εὐτάκτων
εἰμί. ἐγγύησαί με σὺ παραμονῆς· ἐγὼ δέ σοι ἐξελθὼν ἐγγύους σοι καταστήσω.

To Zenon, greetings, Pais, the brother of Patis. From the time when I arrived in the area I have never plundered, nor stolen, nor has anyone come to lay a charge against me before you. It has now been five months since I was arrested. Everything has abandoned me, so as for me to now be in need even of the necessities. Now, therefore, I have fled to you as a suppliant. I have no other helper save you. I swear by your fortune and the fortune of the king that I have been falsely arrested. Also you yourself know that I am among the well-behaved. Bail me out on my guarantee to appear, and after I get out I will provide you with guarantors. Farewell. (J. Bauschatz, Law and Enforcement, p. 252)

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.
