Ἀνταίωι ἐπιστάτῃ Φιλαδελφείας παρὰ Δημητρίου

To Antaios, epistates of Philadelphia, from Demetrios son of Kephalon. I am wronged by a certain Pasinosiris and Theodotos son of Apytos and Horos son of Pesais, desert-guard. Pasinosiris, owing me 1,300 drachmas for the price of olives from the 5th of Mecheir of year 12, and having given as a pledge for these a krephion (?), a hook (?) and a small necklace, and 4 drachmas of coined silver, has not redeemed them even until now, though he agreed to do so on the following day. The other, Theodotos, having given as a pledge a tunic and a drinking cup for 475 drachmas which he additionally owed, likewise for the price of olives, has not redeemed them either, though he agreed in the same way to do so on the following day. Horos, owing from the same month 340 copper drachmas for the price of wine, and having given a tunic as a pledge, has not redeemed it either. Therefore I ask you to summon them and, if they do not undertake even now to redeem, to write a subscription so that the one who has refused may no longer be permitted later to proceed against me concerning the pledges. For if this is done I shall obtain justice.
Farewell.

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.
