[…] scholastikos, deputy for the parts of the province of Arcadia,
[from …] of this venerable office (taxis).
My siblings Joseph and Theodote, having forgotten brotherly affection, think that they alone will have the parental property from our mother, and having taken possession of the property, they are unwilling to withdraw without trouble from my share of the maternal estate, appropriating up to now the management of the property left to me in writing by my mother. For this reason I approach your authority, asking it, through Theon the respected councillor, to compel them also to […] of the things given to me in writing by my mother, so that I may acknowledge my gratitude to your authority, most pure lord.

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.
