From
☧ By the head of Christ, unless you hand over the farmers according to the list to Makarios the shepherd, no one is causing these things except your brotherliness. For God knows, the most illustrious lord Menas was very displeased about the shepherd, who came and spoke to him, and he is preparing an indignation which, as God knows, I hesitate to believe. For I persuade myself that […] he does not tolerate doing anything that grieves or harms you […]. Do me the favour, then, and […] and hand over the farmers according to the list sent to you by me, so that you may be freed from this distress. And for God's sake send me at once our common brother Apollos together with the persons. ☧
[verso]
☧ Deliver to the […] brother Dioskoros son of Apollos, chief of the village.
† Ioannes

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.
