[recto]
Marinus to Kasius his father, very many greetings.
Know that the personal charge (?) for the olives is 40 drachmas. And Apollonios settled an account with me of expenses of 180 drachmas, and the rent is going to follow from now on; for Nilammon the fish-sauce seller deposited them, since he came for a few days. I write to you so that you may know. For the African olive has come in in large quantity. I learned that the denarius and the bracelet are lying as a pledge with Valerius for the expense which Apollonios incurred, as he says. If then you wish, let it be exacted; let us know. I pray for your health. Greet Marinus and Isous their mother. Apollonios greets you […] […] […] […] […] […] […] to you […] Apollonios writes.
[verso]
To Kasius, patron, from Marinus his son.

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 27859 (see that record)
