To Tiberius Claudius Androtimos, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division,
from Ammonios son of Eirenaios, one of the public farmers from Karanis.
During the night before the 4th of Mecheir of the current 12th year of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, certain persons, attacking in robber fashion the cattle which I have grazing on green fodder in the plain of Kerkesoucha, in the holding of Harpaesis son of Herakleios, drove off from me a full-grown red-coloured calf.
Therefore I ask that it be written to the hegoumenos of Karanis to search for it together with me.
Farewell.
(2nd hand?) I, Ammonios son of Eirenaios, have submitted the above memorandum.
Year 12 of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Mecheir […]

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.
