[recto] To my master and patron the praepositus, Eulogios, decurion, greetings in the Lord. As you sent Syros the soldier to me concerning our soldiers and the epimeletes, I immediately sent the soldiers to the camp, but the epimeletes I found being held by an officialis of the governor on account of all the grain which he had received, and the exactor also wrote that he be led off with two public servants, and so he has been taken up to the city because of the governor's visit. And after two days I am bringing him to the camp, and I made him give letters to the people of Theoxenis concerning the loading of the barley. I sent 10 sacks by Kiales, and write back to me concerning the loading of the barley, and whether you order me to come up to the camp. I pray for your health for many years, lord patron. [verso] To my master and patron the praepositus, Eulogios, decurion.

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.
