To Tiberius Claudius Serenus, priest, archidikastes,
from Diogenes son of Chration, of those from the village of Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome. While I was in a dispute with my wife, who is also my sister, I was robbed of the things carried off from my house by a band of robbers.
After this […] Ptolema(?) […] her own brother(?) […] of the house she had another son, a minor. When I came back up from Alexandria, my aforementioned daughter Ptolema, in collusion with her mother, denied […] the things I had deposited with her; and likewise her mother tried to deprive me of the debts and property and other things that I hold in her name. And when Ptolema asked for her marriage to be dissolved, so that she might carry off my belongings and squander them, I went before Aelius Numisianus, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, before whom some things were admitted. Therefore, having authority over my daughter according to the laws, I ask you, lord, if it seems good to you, to write to the same strategos Aelius Numisianus to carry out the examination of the remaining matters before the dissolution of the marriage. I also petitioned the former epistrategos Julius Petronianus by a petition, and he subscribed that the same strategos should put an end to the matter. Since, then, my opponents, having learned this, came down to you thinking they could deceive you, I report to you so that you may know, and I necessarily ask you to write to the strategos, so that I may receive help.

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.
