To Vegetus, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, through Zoilos, royal scribe, who is also acting in the office of strategos of the same division,
from Dionysios son of Eudaimon son of […]los, of the Sosikosmian tribe and the Althaean deme.
Yesterday, which is the 12th of the current month, certain men came upon me in the manner of bandits, armed with swords, beyond the village of Hiera Nikolaou, in front of the watchtower, and maltreated me with many blows, so that I was in danger of my life. Not only this, but they also carried off everything I had, both clothes and money, and the gold ring that I had. Therefore, of necessity, I petition you and ask that this be entered on record with you […]

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.
