[… lines lost …] […] Asklepiades, member of the city council […] having used […] at the accounting office, he did […] being carried away by great inhumanity […] the drawing up of the account with good faith and all exactness, to settle it with him, trusting that not […] his […] authority […] of Ptolemaios and Ambrosios, members of the city council […] that the aforementioned Asklepiades be compelled to come to the accounting office and with all good faith and conscience to settle the account with me, so that free from abuse […] safety for me through your care, my lord prefect, and further through the same help to restore to me the house which he took from me before judgment and by force, or if he still now behaves shamelessly, that he be sent to your magnificence, and I shall be grateful to your splendour for ever. Junius, the most illustrious prefect, said: "Arbitrators chosen between the parties shall draw up the account, and when what is truly owed has been paid, you will not be troubled beyond the just debt, but, acknowledging what is determined, you will be freed according to the laws from liability for the management of the affairs."

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.
