From Aurelius Sarapammon son of Paesios, from the village of Philadelphia, scribe (?) […].
On the […] of the epagomenal days of the month Mesore, when I [had gone (?)] to the wedding in the house of our sister, I do not know how, Arios son of Agammon, from the same village of Philadelphia, watching for his chance as I was leaving the house in the evening hours, wanted to make an attack on me with a sword, having with him also some others, whom he will be able to produce, and the chiefs of police of the village and those living in the house can testify; and having attacked me he uttered much abuse to my face. For indeed last year too the same Arios and his father Agammon, who are among those of the village who have taken flight, attacked our house with reckless intent and, bringing fire, burned it down from its foundations. Since, then, the outrages they have dared against me are not few, but at every turn his father, the aforementioned Agammon, attacks us and obstructs the apportionments of public duties being made in the village, for this reason I submit this petition to you, asking that the aforementioned Arios and his father Agammon be brought before you and that you keep them in custody with you, and that they be compelled to provide sufficient and creditworthy sureties for my safety […] of others […] for not […] I shall appeal to the higher authority.
Farewell.
In the consulship of Eusebius and Hypatius, the most illustrious, Mesore, epagomenal day […].

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.
