[… lines lost …] … of the farmers themselves, holding the rank of village scribe in the plain districts […] … testimony to me through Tou…thes (?) the monographos, neither having entered (?) … […] concerning not having […] used force nor … nor having expelled … and … […] … concerning which … Pankrates the archisomatophylax and in charge of the syntaxis, on the 24th of Tybi of year 31 […] of them through the contract-writer Marres […] … to subscribe that Menches, who has now taken over the village scribeship, consents. Since therefore my affairs require your hatred of wrongdoing and your help, I ask you to look into these matters and the way in which I have been ruined by an unreasonable man, harassed by empty registrations contrary to what has been ordered concerning those from the katoikia and the other documents, and to settle my affairs as epistates of the cavalry (?). For if this is done, through you I shall obtain help. 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.
