To Zenon, greetings, Pais, the brother of Patis. From the time when I arrived in the area I have never plundered, nor stolen, nor has anyone come to lay a charge against me before you. It has now been five months since I was arrested. Everything has abandoned me, so as for me to now be in need even of the necessities. Now, therefore, I have fled to you as a suppliant. I have no other helper save you. I swear by your fortune and the fortune of the king that I have been falsely arrested. Also you yourself know that I am among the well-behaved. Bail me out on my guarantee to appear, and after I get out I will provide you with guarantors. Farewell. (J. Bauschatz, Law and Enforcement, p. 252)

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.
