[recto] Eukles to Zenon, greeting. You will oblige me by giving to Moschion the slave the 20 jars of sour wine about which we have reminded you several times. We will pay you the price as soon as we arrive. As for the small change you asked me about, those who hold most of the days asked us to grant them ten days' grace, during which they are harvesting. So as soon as they get it in, if you have need, we will advance it to you. Farewell. Year 6, Thoth 15. [verso] Concerning 20 jars of sour wine. To Zenon. Eukles. Year 6.

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.
