Hermogenes, son of Phil[ --- ], Persian of the epigone, to king Ptolemy, greetings. I am wronged by Petosiris, the one who lives in Lagis of the Themistes meris of the Arsinoite nome. For in year 5, according to the financial calendar, Phamenoth 21, a disagreement having arisen between us in the aforementioned village, (he placed) his hands upon me… with beatings and stompings upon whatever part of my body he might strike, … those present. Therefore, I need you, king, to command Diophanes, stratêgos, to write to Agathokles, epistatês, and have him (i.e., Agathokles) send him (i.e., Petosiris) to Diophanes, so that he may be tried for me, and if the things I write prove to be true, he may be forced to pay 200 drachmas for the blows… Diophanes…. For if this occurs, I shall have found justice through you, king. Farewell. (in a second hand) To Agathokles: By all means, settle their differences; but if you cannot, send (them). Year 4, Dios 3, Phamenoth 27. Hermogenes against Petosiris concerning blows for 200 drachmas. (J. Bauschatz, Law and Enforcement, pp105–106)

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.
