Description

Papyrus letter from the Herakleopolites(?) (Heracleopolite Nome), Egypt in which Chairemon, an official, and another person address Ariston strategos and nomarches, a high civil and army official involved with taxation and one of the first friends of the king. They inform Ariston of some official business relating to a visit of Herodas, an official and possibly the brother of the dioiketes, the finance secretary of Egypt, to Ptolemais Hormou(?). Herodas complained about the fact that Ariston had not yet taken care of the delivery of wheat expected from him

About this record's data

From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
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 — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
