Lettre via HGV-meta
Letter about underweight solidi and a withheld tax receipt for the embole. A sixth-century letter from Aphrodito, apparently addressed to Apollos (or his son Dioskoros), complaining that the gold coins sent were 7 carats short. Because of this, the tax assistants refused to issue the receipt for 18 carats until the full sum was paid, and the writer urges the recipient not to neglect the village's grain-tax payment. machine translation

I have also written to your Esteemedness on another occasion that the solidi sent to me […] were found to be short by 7 carats; and for this reason the assistants (boethoi) would not consent to hand over the receipt for the 18 carats, saying: "Unless we receive the full amount." So, for God's sake, do not neglect the embole (grain tax) of your village. For you know that even if […] not […] the […] at present on account of the same embole.

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.
