Hermaios to Apollonios, most honoured, greetings. Having reckoned that it would be best, for the examination of the plots reported to have been included in the surveys of the unproductive land (hypologos), both public and private, that respectable local men be taken along as well, so that the boundary-markers (?) may not be led astray in all those [...] of the owners of the private land, I have copied out their names and sent them to you, lord, so that, if you see fit, you may order them to be notified and the persons to come immediately to me, together with the secretary of the metropolis. I pray for your health, my lord. [verso] To Apollonios, strategos.

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.
