[…]θεων παραγενομένου Πριάμου ἀπόλυσον αὐτὸν, δοὺς αὐτῷ τὰ ὄντα παρὰ σοὶ πρόβατα
ιδ, σοῦ ἀπολαμβάνοντος δραχμὰς ἑκατὸν τεσσεράκοντα
μεθʼ ἃς ἔλαβες παρʼ ἐμοῦ ἐπὶ παρόντι μοι δραχμὰς τεσσεράκοντα
καὶ παρὰ Πριάμου ὀγδοήκοντα ,
ὡς εἶναι ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ δραχμὰς
διακοσίας ἑξήκοντα .
γινώσκειν δέ σε θέλω ὅτι παρὰ δεξιὰν
ἐχρήσω. ἐμοῦ γὰρ παρόντος ὑπέσχου τὸ διάρουρον τοῦ χόρτου
δραχμῶν ἑκατὸν βρωθῆναι.
ὕστερον δὲ ἐκαίνισας ἡμᾶς σὺν
τῇ τιμῇ τοῦ αἰγὸς δραχμὰς τριάκοντα μηδὲ πλήρη ὄντων
τῶν πέντε ἀρουρῶν, εἰδὼς
ὅτι οὐκ ἀλλότριος προηρχόμην
εἰ μὴ ἐμαυτοῦ. καὶ νῦν οὖν,
φίλτατε, μηδεμίαν κατοχὴν
ποιήσῃ ἀλλὰ εὐθέως ἀπόλυσον
αὐτὸν καὶ Μαμερτεῖνον, ὑπηρετήσας αὐτοὺς πρὸς τὴν νύκτα.
κακῶς δὲ ἔπραξας μὴ ἀναβὰς πρὸς τὴν ἑορτὴν. κἀννῦν
ἄνελθε διὰ … τὸν φίλον. ἔρρωσο.

[…]
[…] when Priamos arrives, release him, giving him the 14 sheep you have with you, while you receive 140 drachmas, besides the 40 drachmas you received from me in my presence and 80 from Priamos, making 260 drachmas in all.
I want you to know that you have acted against your pledge. For when I was present you promised that the two-aroura plot of fodder would be grazed for 100 drachmas. But afterwards you made a new demand on us, with the price of the goat, of 30 drachmas, though the five arouras were not even full, knowing that I was not coming forward as a stranger but as one of your own. So now, dearest, make no delay, but release him and Mamertinus at once, serving them (?) for the night.
You did wrong not to come up for the festival. Even now come up, for the sake of … your friend. Farewell.

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.
