To my lord brother, Aetios, very many greetings in the Lord God.
I have sent to you by the Libyans 16 artabas of wheat, (artabas) 16, and 1 sealed spathion of oil and 8 goatskins and 8 sacks. Receive from them also 3 belts (?). And I sent by Agathos, soldier from Hermopolis, 2 spathia of oil and the basket. And make haste to transfer the wheat and the barley from Theoxenis, since it is becoming known (?). And I paid the Libyans the 14 1/2 artabas of barley. And some soldiers came to us with ostraka; if you order them to receive from us, write back to me.
I pray for your health for many years, lord patron.
(Address) To my lord brother, Aetios.

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.
