…… Ἑλλάδιος ὁ τοποτηρητὴς τῆς Ἀνταίου
ἔγραψέν μοι διὰ τοῦ γραμματηφόρου, ὡς τῆς ὑμετέρας
ἀδελφότητος ἀπαιτούσης τὸν εἰρημένον
γραμματηφόρον ἄνδρα φανερὸν χρυσίον
ὑπὲρ ἀρουρῶν μὴ οὐσῶν ὑπʼ αὐτόν.
καταξιώσατε οὖν φυλάξαι τὸ δίκαιον τῷ γραμματηφόρῳ
διὰ τὴν κέλευσιν τοῦ λαμπροτάτου ἀνδρός

Please therefore see fit to preserve his right for the letter-carrier, on account of the order of the most illustrious man […]

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.
