[…] having gone to the public officials (?), I reported this very matter, and they came with me for the inspection and saw the outrage. Therefore, submitting this petition, I safeguard myself and ask that the animals be searched for at once with all vigour and restored to me, since I am a man of modest means and earn my living from them.
Year 2 of the Emperors Caesars Publius Licinius Valerianus and Publius Licinius Valerianus Gallienus, Pious, Fortunate, Augusti, Pachon […]
I, Aurelius X[…], [submitted it.]

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.
