To Aurelius Harpokration, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome,
from Aurelius Aphynchis son of Sarapas, from the city of Oxyrhynchus.
On this present day, having learned that Achilleus, cake-seller, had attacked Sarapias, slave of my minor son, and had wounded her on the lip, I went to him at once and remonstrated with him about such great insolence of his, and he attacked me too, and insulted me and abused me, and not only that, but he also struck me with a stone on the head. Therefore, submitting this petition, I ask that you order him to be brought before you and that you proceed against the outrages he has dared to commit, so that the slave girl may obtain justice and medical care.
Year 2 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius Felix Augustus, Phaophi.
(Signed) I, Aurelius Aphynchis, have submitted […]

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.
