[…] […] to him the money for the […] and the lame man in the camp who gave you the three litters is crying out, saying that it is nothing other than a full year since you received […] and you have not sent him the money. Likewise Lamathis is slandering you, saying that you are bringing a new accusation, because you did not want to be his partner. You will not do well in addition to the money of Amyntas […] all his things […] Sarapas and your brother have departed for Koptos. As for the money, put it with Nembenos (?). It lies sealed as it was, until you let me know where you want it to go. Everyone at home asks after you, and I who wrote the letter greet you. Year 9 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, Mecheir 5.

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.
