To Apollonios alias Ptolemaios, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division,
from Psenamounis son of Pakysis, from the village of Karanis.
In the night before the 22nd of the present month Phamenoth, my mare, wheat-coloured in colour, while being led to water, disappeared, which I immediately made known to the public officials of the village. Since up to now she has not yet turned up, I submit and ask that the petition be placed on record, so that if she is found I may retain my claim.
I, Psenamounis, vinedresser, have submitted it.
Year 2[…] of Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Caesar the lord, Phamenoth 30.

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.
