Aphrodisios to Ptolemaios, greeting.
Do everything to sell some of the wheat of mine which you have, one year's worth, and leave a year's worth for the dekaprotoi. For you did not let me sell it before, saying, "I want it." So even now, then, sell it at 200 drachmas, for you know how much I pay on its account. So that I may find you obedient. Take Strouthos along with you, and because of the scarcity of good olives, keep my share.
I pray for your health.

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 30622 (see that record)
