βασιλεῖ Πτολεμαίωι χαίρειν Ζήνων. ἀδικοῦμαι ὑπὸ Ἡρακλείδου· δόντος γάρ μου αὐτῶι ἐν τῶι γ ἔτει vestiges διὰ Δημέου χρυσίου δραχμὰς υ, ὅπως διαγράψῃ ὑπέρ μου εἰς τὸ βασιλικὸν χαλκοῦ δραχμὰς υ, ἐφʼ ὧι κομισάμενος παρά μου ἀποδώσει μοι, καὶ ἐμοῦ ἀποδιδόντος αὐτῶι καὶ ἀπαιτοῦντος αὐτὸν οὐκ ἀποδέδωκεν, ἀλλὰ παρείλκυκένπαρήλκυκέμ με ἕως τοῦ νῦν. δέομαι οὖν σου, εἴ σοι δοκεῖ, προστάξαι Ἀγήνορι τῶι στρατηγῶι ἀνακαλέσαι αὐτὸν καὶ, ἐὰν ἦι ἀληθῆ, ἐπαναγκάσαι αὐτὸν κομισάμενον τὰς υ δραχμὰς τοῦ χαλκοῦ ἀποδοῦναί μοι τὰς υ δραχμὰς τοῦ χρυσίου, καὶ ὦ διὰ σὲ τοῦ δικαίου τετευχώς. εὐτύχει.

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.
