[recto] To Artemidoros, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division, from Samios son of Sarapion, grandson of Neilos, from the metropolis, landowner in the village of Neilopolis and stock-breeder in the same. In the night of the 22nd to the 23rd of the present month Pachon, while the animals were somewhere (?) in our farmyard, there were carried off from them four donkeys, the finest ones, two white and the other two black. Therefore I submit this petition, asking that it be placed on record, while I search for them in whatever places I wish, so that, if I have the chance to find them, I may recover them, in order that I may be benefited and helped by you, my lord. Farewell. Year 1 of Imperator Caesar Publius Helvius Pertinax Augustus, Pachon 24 […] [verso] […] I have signed.

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.
