† Let your God-protected brotherhood know that the day before yesterday, which is the 7th of the present month, my master the most glorious topoteretes sailed down, and he ordered me to write to you so that you would write to me about the matter of the boat, what you did about it. So, as soon as you read the present letter, may your God-protected brotherhood write to me the outcome of the matter, and what is still needed on its account. Behind (?) the present letter I am sending you the dry sycamore wood. But send your man to lord Aristophanes, who is to select the acacia wood for the so-called kerkis, since he himself supplies it; and I greet you through this letter. But if your man comes down, write to me again through him, and write again to lord Aristophanes on this account. † Choiak 9, indiction 4 †

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 20237 (see that record)
