To Titus Haterius Nepos, prefect of Egypt,
from Sarapous daughter of Petnes son of Tithoes, of those from the village of Karanis in the Arsinoite nome. My husband Peteeus, from the same village, died leaving two orphaned children, Theon and […]nais (?), and grain property and house plots and household furnishings, all of which […] the brother of my aforementioned husband violently lays claim to. Moreover, in addition […] he himself entered into the house by night and carried off everything in the house […] in […] manner. Therefore I brought up the chief of police of the village, who certified in writing that the aforementioned brother was the one who had attacked. Therefore I have made this [petition] to you […] to hear [me] […] so that I may be benefited.
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.
