† ἐντυχὼν ὁ δεσπότης ἡμῶν ὁ πανεύφημος ἀμιρᾶς τῷ θεματισμῷ τῶν ἐργατῶν τῶν διδομένων

συλλογὴν τῶν γενημάτων εἴτε διὰ λοιπὰ κεφάλαια τὰ ζητούμενα· ποιήσας καὶ ἄλλον θεματισμὸν
τῶν ὀφειλόντων πεμφθῆναι ἐργατῶν ἀφʼ ἑκάστης χώρας, καὶ τὴν
παγαρχίαν ὑμῶν ἔταξε
ἐργάτας γ, γράψας κελεύων μοι ποιῆσαι ὑμᾶς μαθεῖν καὶ μὴ πέμψαι περαιτέρω τούτων κατὰ ἀλλαγὴν ἀπὸ τοῦ
θεματισμοῦ, μηδὲν δὲ κουφίσαι ἐκ τῶν πεμπομένων τεχνιτῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ αὐτοῦ θεματισμοῦ, ἀλλὰ εἰς
πλῆρες τούτους πέμψαι, καὶ πρὸς τὸ ὑμᾶς μαθεῖν ἔγραψα. θαυμάζω δὲ πῶς οὐκ ἐπέμψατε
τὴν λοιπάδα τῶν διφθερῶν μέχρι νῦν. τὰ δὲ δημόσια θαυμάζω πῶς οὐκ ἦλθεν μέχρι νῦν

† Our lord the most renowned amir, having read the assessment of the workmen being supplied for the works of Babylon […] part […] to go up, whether for the collection of the produce or for the other matters required, made also another assessment of the workmen who must be sent from each district, and assigned to your pagarchy 3 workmen, writing and ordering me to inform you and not to send more than these by way of replacement from the assessment, and not to reduce at all the craftsmen being sent under the same assessment, but to send them in full; and I have written so that you may know. I am surprised how you have not sent the remainder of the hides until now. And I am surprised how the public taxes have not arrived until now, and what the obstacle is […] and send the boat with all vigilance […] send the replacement […]

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 39090 (see that record)
