[… lines lost …] […] having cast an envious eye on the […] […] […] she does not want to give these back. And in addition she committed against me no ordinary outrage and gave me many blows on every part of my body, so that in the struggle (?) she even tore off the little golden crescent (?) worth one quarter (?) which I was wearing. I ask you to order a letter to be written to the epistates of the village to send the accused woman up to you, so that she may be compelled, being held in custody, to return our property at once and may meet with what is fitting. […] Farewell.

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.
