Year 21, Tybi 14. To Aurelius Gerontios, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, from Aurelius Ploution son of Sarapion, from the Memphite nome, pilot of a treasury boat of 200 artabas burden. I acknowledge, swearing by the fortune of our lords the Emperors and Caesars, that I have received and loaded through Silvanus Kratistos, apostolos (dispatch officer) of the staff of the magistracy, for two cargoes of the levy of the fortunate thirteenth indiction, 200 centenaria of clean charcoal, total 200 centenaria, which I will also carry […] to Alexandria and deliver in full to whomever I am ordered, at my own risk. And I have also received for […] the centenaria ordered, and on being asked I acknowledged. In the consulship of our lords Constantine Augustus for the 7th time and Constantius the most illustrious Caesar for the 1st time. [Tybi …] I, Aurelius Ploution, have received the charcoal and will carry it as stated above. I, Aurelius Neilos, wrote on his behalf since he is illiterate.

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.
