Correspondence of strategos about irrigation problems via APIS-papyrus
Letter from the strategos of the Leontopolite nome about uninundated fields. Fragment of an official letter from the strategos of the Leontopolite nome, acting through the royal scribe who was deputising for him, to the strategos of the neighbouring Busirite nome. He repeats an earlier message that the fields of the Leontopolite nome have still not been inundated, apparently inviting his colleague to send someone to inspect. It dates to the early 3rd century AD. machine translation

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 APIS-papyrus, TM-Text 78076 (see that record)
