Antonius came forward wishing, out of spite, to deprive me of what my wife Aphrodite owns […] two camels, and when I did not comply he assaulted me with very many blows; and moreover, during my absence, he demanded from my wife's son Polydeukes, who is under age, 2 drachmas, as though these were given to him by everyone for each camel. But also today, when I asked him for the transport charge for the days I worked, out of what he had exacted from all the villagers, 6 drachmas for each artaba, again he committed the utmost outrage against me, threatening even to plot against my life. Being afraid that he might carry out in deed what he said, I fled as far as the village of Pharbaitha in this same division, and I submit this petition and ask that it be placed on record, and that you hear me against him, so that at the appointed time I may prove that on the […] day […] him […] very many camels, after which […], from which his theft is evident. Farewell.
I, Sabinus son of Zosimos, have submitted this.
Year […] of Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Caesar the lord, Pachon 11.

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.
