† οἱ τοῦ μοναστηρίου ἄπαἈγενίου ἦλθον εὐχαριστοῦντες τῇ σῇ εὐδοκιμήσει· ἦλθον δὲ καὶ νῦν
αἰτοῦντες αὐτὴν φροντίζεσθαι ἑαυτῶν καὶ τῶν πραγμάτων. καὶ τοῦτο μὲν ἠναγκάσθην
γράψαι τῷ δεσπότῃ μου τῷ μεγαλοπρεπεστάτῳ κόμετι Ἀμμωνίῳ ἐν δὲ τῷ τέως περίελθε τὰ κτήματα καὶδιοίκησον αὐτά, ἤγουν ποίησον ἄνθρωπον ὑμέτερον
τοῦτο πρᾶξαι. συμβάλλω γάρ σε κατὰ Θεόν, καὶ μάλιστα διὰ τὸν κοινὸν δεσπότην
τὸν κόμετα Ἀμμώνιν. ἐπειδὴ δὲ εἷς γεωργὸς παρεκάλεσεν δύο νομίσματα
διδόναι ὑπὲρ δέκα ἓξ ἀρταβῶν σίτου λοιπασθεισῶν παρʼ αὐτοῦ, θελήσῃ σου ἡ θαυμασιότης
ταῦτα δέξασθαι, καὶ ἓν μὲν νόμισμα παρὰ τέσσαρα ἀποστεῖλαί μοι ὑπὲρ σιδήρου ἀγορασθέντος
καὶ δοθέντος Στεφάνῳ τῷ στρατιώτῃ, τὸ δὲ ἄλλο ἔχειν ἢ εἰς λόγον δημοσίων
ἢ εἰς τιμὴν καλάμων· καὶ ἁπλῶς εἰπεῖν, ἀντιποιήθητι τοῦ πράγματος ὡς ἰδίου.
μέλλει γὰρ γράμματα καταλαβεῖν σε περὶ τούτου αὐτοῦ τοῦ εἰρημένου μεγαλοπρεπεστάτου

† The people of the monastery of apa Agenios came thanking your Excellency; and they have come now too, asking it to take care of themselves and of their affairs. And this I was compelled to write to my master the most magnificent count Ammonios; but in the meantime go round the estates and manage them, or rather have one of your men do this. For I urge you before God, and especially for the sake of our common master the count Ammonios. Since one farmer has asked to give 2 solidi for 16 artabas of wheat left owing by him, may your Admirableness be pleased to accept them, and send me one solidus less 4 (carats) for iron bought and given to Stephanos the soldier, and keep the other either for the account of public taxes or for the price of reeds; and simply put, take charge of the matter as your own. For letters are about to reach you on this very matter from the said most magnificent man. †

[…] to the most admirable Apollos […]

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.
