[…]ς ἀπὸ Ἑρμουπόλεως τῆς
λαμπροτάτης χαίρειν. πάσῃ εὐμενίᾳ, δέσποτα ἡγεμών,
τὸ μεγαλεῖόν σου εὐεργετεῖ τοὺς ἀδικουμένους μάλιστα

ἐπέρχονταί μοι βουλόμενοι ἐκπράξασθαι ἅπερ εἰλήφασιν διʼ οὗ ἐξεδόμην τῷ κοινωνῷ τούτων Ὑμισεῖ τινὶ τὸ ὄνομα ἐπιστάλματος εὐσεβῆ τελέσματα. ὅθεν μὴ φεροῦσα γυνὴ

τούτους παύειν τῆς βίας πρὸς τὸ μηδὲν πλεῖόν με παθεῖν
ἀλλʼ εὐεργετημένη διὰ παντὸς τῇ τύχῃ σου εὐχαριστῆσαι.Translations (1)
[...]
[...] from Hermopolis the most splendid, greetings. With all kindness, lord governor, your magnificence benefits those who are wronged, and especially women because of the weakness of their nature. My affair is as follows: a long time ago [...] by the sitologoi of the village of Magdola of the same nome [...] on account of public taxes of my property in the same village, and before this [...] I issued a written order to one of them, named Hymiseus, to someone [...] that I be well-disposed (?). These things to them [...] orders not [...] they, but towards your magnificence [...] time (?) [...] despising my weak female nature, they come against me wishing to exact what they have already received, through the order which I issued to their partner, one named Hymiseus, the pious (?) taxes. Therefore, not being able to bear, as a woman, [...] their unlawful demand, I take refuge at the feet of you, my lord, begging and asking that you order, by whatever means your magnificence sees fit, that these men cease from their violence, so that I suffer nothing further, but, having been benefited, I may give thanks to your fortune forever.

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.
