Peteminis to Protarchos, greetings. On the 11th of Pachon, while we were patrolling the village at night, we met Pasis son of Paopis, a royal farmer, who had been wounded. He reported to us, saying that some persons had attacked him by the Stone Canal. So we pushed on as if toward the south of the village, wishing to find out what had happened. We met Manres son of Orseus, likewise wounded. When questioned by us who they might be, they said they did not recognize them, but they said that some of them had been wounded by us with poles (?). On the 12th we hear who they are, men from the village, whose names are set out below for you: Pasis son of Semtheus, Horos son of Onnophris, Pais son of Manres, Horos son of Apynchis, grain measurer. Although we searched, we have not found them for the present. If they fall into our hands, we will bring them up […] to you. So I have written to you so that you may know.
Farewell. Year 11, Pachon 15.

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.
