[B] [Fragment A] To Amphikles, kinsman and hypomnematographos, from the priests of Souchos in Krokodilopolis in the Thebaid and the others (?), there being in the said city a royal dike. In year 48, on Thoth 3, the men from Hermonthis attacked in arms, killed those of our people who were on guard, and cut through the dike in 24 breaches, so that for this reason the land would remain unsown and no small losses would accrue to the king and the temple. No less did they also attack the city with numerous men and cavalry and besieged our fort, and when some of our people sallied out [Fragment B] […] into year 49 […] […] having done such things […] […] having obtained your assistance […] 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.
