[…] […] and as you instructed […] […] some part toward the principal, if you think fit, 60 drachmas; he said he would pay you the rest when you come down, together with them. I did however give to the ivory-workers […] the fee for the incense-box, 8 drachmas, and to Narkissos the 52 drachmas to make up the full amount, and I sent him off […] having both the incense-box and the 52 silver drachmas, which I write to you, lord, so that you may know. Also handed over to Narkissos by the cibariator were the 12 flagons of wine.
Farewell. Phamenoth 25.

[…] to the centurion

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 27231 (see that record)
