Ὀρνυμένηι παρὰ Πετεμίνιος
τῶν ἐκ Μούχεως τῆς Πολέμωνος
μερίδος· ἐπέδωκα Ἀθηνοδώρωι
διοικητῆι κατὰ Πυθίωνα τὸν
οἰκονομοῦντα τὴν αὐτὴν μερίδα
περὶ δραχμῶν Δ ὧν ἐπεπράχει με
καὶ παραλογ…
πρὸς τάλαντα ε Βτ καὶ τοῦ ὑπομνήματος ἀναπεμφθέντος ἐπὶ σὲ
ἔγραψας Φίλωνι ἀποκαταστῆσαι
αὐτὸν ἐπὶ σέ.
ἐπεὶ οὖν ὁ ἄνθρωπος
περιφεύγει τοῦ τὸ δίκαιόν μοι ὑποσχεῖν,
ἀξιῶ οὖν σε, ἐάν σοι φαίνηται, γράψαι
μοι ἐντολὴν πρὸς τοὺς φυλακίτας ὅπως οὗ ἂν εὑρεθεὶς ἀποκατασταθῇ ἐπὶ σέ· εἰ δὲ μή γε,

To Ornymenes, from Peteminis, one of those from Mouchis in the meris of Polemon. I submitted a petition to Athenodoros the dioiketes against Pythion, who acts as oikonomos of the same meris, concerning 4,000 drachmas which he had exacted from me and [...] (?) ... at the rate of 5 talents 2,300 (?), and when the memorandum was sent on to you, you wrote to Philon to deliver him up to you. ⟦When he had been delivered⟧ ⟦...⟧ Since, then, the man is evading giving me justice, I ask you, if it seems good to you, to write for me an order to the guards (phylakitai) so that wherever he is found he may be delivered up to you; and if not, [...] to have his house shut up.

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.
