Δημητρίῳ τῷ καὶ Ἁρποκρατίωνι στρατηγῷ Ἀρσινοΐτου Θεμίστου καὶ Πολέμωνος μερίδων
παρὰ Στοτοήτιος τοῦ Στοτοήτιος ἀπὸ κώμης Σοκνοπαίου Νήσου τῆς Ἡρακλείδου μερίδος
τοῦ Ἀρσινοείτου νομοῦ. ἔχοντός μου εἰπεῖν πρὸς Σωτᾶν Θέωνος καὶ τὸν τούτου υἱὸν Ἀμώνιον,
ὄντας ἀπὸ τῆς μητροπόλεως, καταγεινομένους ἐν ἐποικίῳ Ἀρείου λεγομένῳ ὄντι περὶ κώμην Ἡρακλείαν τῆς Θεμίστου μερίδος τολμῆς καὶ βίας ἀντεχομένων περὶ ἧς ἐποιήσαντό μοι βίας συνεργοῦντες ἀλλήλοις, συμπαραλαβόντες αὑτοῖς Ἡρακλείδην ὑπηρέτην
ὡς ἐξ ἐνκελεύσεως Θέωνος στρατηγήσαντος τῆς αὐτῆς μερίδος, μέχρι τοῦ ἐν τάγματι γενόμενοι ἐπιχείρημα κακουργότατον διαπράξασθαι, ἐπαναγκάσαι με μετὰ ὕβρεων
καὶ πληγῶν ἐγδόσθαι γράμματα χειρογράφου πράσεως καὶ ὑποθήκης καὶ δανείου δραχμῶν
τετρακοσίων ἐξ ὀνόματος τῆς ἀδελφῆς μου, μὴ συνθεμένης αὐτῆς, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀπούσης, εἰς
ὄνομα τῆς θυγατρὸς Σωτοῦ Σατυριαίνης, ἥνικα περιῆν, καταφρονήσαντες τῆς περὶ τοὺς
πόδας μου διαθέσεως αὐθαδῶς ἀναστραφέντων καὶ ὡς ἐν ἐρημίᾳ χρησαμένων,
οἰομένων προχωρεῖν αὐτοῖς τὰ ἄνομα καὶ ἄδικα τῷ καὶ μὴ ἐξοδιασμὸν στατήρων μὴ γεγονέναι, περὶ ὧν μὴ κατησυχάσας περὶ τούτων ἐνέτυχον τῷ ἡγεμονεύσαντι Ὁνωράτῳ, ὃς ὑπέγραψέ μοι ἐντυχεῖν Κρείσπῳ τῷ ἐπιστρατηγήσαντι,
καὶ μέχρι τοῦ δεῦρο πέρας οὐδέπω ἐπετέθη τῷ πράγματι καὶ τοῦδε τοῦ πράγματος δεομένου τῆς τοῦ λαμπροτάτου ἡγεμόνος Μουνατίου Φήλικος διαγνώσεως ἀξιῶ τούτου τὸ ἴσον διʼ ὑπηρέτου μεταδοθῆναι ἑκατέρῳ αὐτῶν, ἵνʼ εἰδῶσι παρεσομένους
αὐτοὺς ἐπὶ τὸ ἱερώτατον τοῦ ἡγεμόνος βῆμα, ὅπου ἐὰν τὸν τοῦ νομοῦ διαλογισμὸν ἢ δικαιοδοσίαν ποιῆται ἀρκουμένου μου τῇδε τῇ διαστολῇ μένοντός μου τοῦ
λόγου περὶ ὧν ἔχω πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐνγράπτων δικαίων πάντων.Translations (1)
To Demetrios also called Harpokration, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Themistos and Polemon divisions,
from Stotoetis son of Stotoetis, from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos in the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome. Since I have a case against Sotas son of Theon and his son Ammonios, who are from the metropolis and live in the so-called farmstead of Areios near the village of Herakleia in the Themistos division, men given to audacity and violence, concerning the violence they did to me, working together with one another and taking along with them Herakleides, an attendant, as if on the order of Theon, former strategos of the same division, to the point that, acting in a body, they carried out a most criminal undertaking and forced me with insults
and blows to issue documents of a handwritten sale and mortgage and loan of 400 drachmas in the name of my sister, without her consent and indeed in her absence, to the name of Sotas' daughter Satyriaina, while she was still alive, taking advantage of the condition of my feet, behaving arrogantly and as if in a wilderness,
thinking that their lawless and unjust acts would succeed for them because no payment of staters had taken place; about which, not keeping quiet, I petitioned the former prefect Honoratus, who instructed me to petition Crispus, the former epistrategos,
and up to now no end has yet been put to the matter; and since this matter requires the judgment of the most illustrious prefect Munatius Felix, I ask that a copy of this be served through an attendant on each of them, so that they may know that they are to appear
before the most sacred tribunal of the prefect, wherever he holds the assize of the nome or his jurisdiction, I being content with this notification, while my claim regarding all the rights I have against them in writing remains reserved.

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.
