To Didymos, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division,
from Sabinus son of Zosimos, collector of public taxes (?) of the village of Karanis.
In the night leading into the 27th of the present month Mecheir, certain persons whose names I do not know attacked the vegetable crop which I have sown near the aforesaid village, and cut down a very large area of it in 5 arouras; no small damage resulted. I therefore ask that a copy of this be entered in the record, against whoever shall appear to me to be the culprit. Farewell.
Year 31 of Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Caesar the lord, Mecheir 27.

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.
