To Gaius Vitrasius Pollio
from Orsenouphis son of Manrres, of those from the village of Bakchias in the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome, royal farmer. When my aforementioned father died in the 4th year of Gaius Caesar Imperator Augustus, he left by will his property to me and to my brothers Orsenouphis and Sisois and Petobastis and Marres, and the furniture and other things in his house to our mother Taonnophris for the period of her life. In the meantime our mother has also died, and we ought to take over her property in accordance with our father's will. But our eldest sister, who was given a dowry by our father as long ago as the 35th year of the deified Caesar, and to whom nothing of the paternal and maternal property falls in accordance with our father's will, has dared, together with her husband Ptolemaios son of Horion, to carry off our father's furnishings and utensils, left by our father to our mother and falling to us, to the value of 1,500 silver drachmas. Therefore I ask you, the saviour and benefactor of all, if it seems good, to take up the matter so that I may obtain justice, so that we may be benefited. 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.
