[r] † καὶ ἄλλοτε ἐγράφη ὑμῖν παραυτὰ καταλαβεῖν· θελήσατε οὖν παραχρῆμα τοῦτο ποιῆσαι. κατερχόμενοι δὲ ἢ ἐν ὀψινῇ ἢ ἐν νυκτὶ, ὁρμήσατε καὶ ἀπελάσατε πρὸς Κόλλουθον τὸν νοτάριον ἢ πρὸς τὴν μεγάλην ἄμα Μαρίαν· καὶ πέμπει ὑμᾶς πρὸς ἐμὲ νύκτωρ. ὡς οὖν πολλάκις εἴρηται, καταλάβετε παραχρῆμα, ἐπειδὴ ἀναγκαίως χρείαν ὑμῶν ἔχω [v] Λαυτων ἐξουσία Ἀπολλῶτι καὶ λοιποῖς πρωτοκωμήταις Ἀφροδίτης

[recto] † You were written to on another occasion too, to come immediately; so please do [this] at once. When you come down, either in the evening or at night, set out and go off to Kollouthos the notary or to the great lady Maria as well; and he will send you to me by night. As has often been said, then, come immediately, since I urgently have need of you. [verso] [From] Your Authority (?) to Apollos and the other village headmen of Aphrodite

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.
