† So that your most magnificent brotherliness may know that, with […] assisting, I went up to Lato (Latopolis) about dawn (?) […] and since […] with Kyros son of Pachymios today, I thought it necessary to write to you so that you may arrange […] for me a good fishing boat, so that by it I may go up without hindrance, God willing, and complete (the collection of) the gold for the plots of land of the Blemmyes and the price of the sheep, since they instructed me about this […] so that henceforth I may not come and be hindered on account of the gold […] and of the boat. And I greet you through this letter. † […] 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.
