[column 1]
Ammonios and Hermokles to the most esteemed Apollonios, greetings.
Know that, since at present we have not had the opportunity, because of the transport downriver of the public wheat, to run to you and complain about […], we are aggrieved, as men of no account, by you, through the letter you wrote to the strategos of the Lykopolite nome, Sarapion, about our not sharing with you a half share of the arakos, but that we […] share and you from a third and […] having come […] this.
[column 2]
For if not […] at the requisitions (?) of Artorius Priscillus, the former epistrategos, we were jointly inquiring about the shares […] that you should take two shares and we […] in the distribution (?) of the arakos in the Hermopolite nome, that we were involved […] by halves, and then […] to you from the Hermopolite nome that the half be handed over, so that you might be relieved both of the produce and of the […], we hastened by writing to one another […] however, because of the disturbances of the Jews, now […] it is for your conscience to act, by which […] your prudence […] you disregard (?) not much […] but also since there is civil strife.
[column 3]
For this reason, then, we have sent a river guard to you, so that you may write back to us whatever you think, and the matter can be settled before the visit of the most excellent epistrategos to the Lykopolite nome.
I pray for your health, lord […]

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.
