Εὐφρόνιος Μίλωνι χαίρειν. ὡς ἂν ἀναγνῶις τὴν ἐπιστολήν, ἐπιλαβὼν
παρὰ τῶν τραπεζιτῶν τῶν ἐν τοῖς ἱεροῖς τὰ πεπτωκότα εἰς τὸ ἐν Ἀπόλλωνος
πόλει τῆι μεγάληι ἱερὸν ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ τοῦ εἰσμεμετρημένου σίτου παρὰ τῶν
πρὸς τοῖς θησαυροῖς ἀπὸ τοῦ πρωτίστου χρόνου ἕως τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος κατὰ μῆνα
καὶ κατʼ ἔτος, διεστάλθω δὲ εἰς ἃ πέπτωκεν ἔτη, καὶ τοῦτο ποιήσας ἐπιμελῶς
ἀπόστειλον ἡμῖν ἐπὶ τῶν διαδόχων, ὅπως μὴ διὰ ταῦτα κωλυώμεθα
τῶν λοιπῶν ἐν ἑτοίμωι ὄντων τοὺς λόγους εἰς τὴν πόλιν καταπέμψαι·
ἔστιν δὲ τὰ πεπτωκότα διὰ Θ[…]ου καὶ Ἄνδρωνος ὥστε ἐπακολουθεῖν.
ἔρρωσο ἔτους κε Παῦνι κδ

Euphronios to Milon, greetings. As soon as you read this letter, obtain from the bankers in the temples the sums that have fallen due to the temple in Apollonopolis the Great, and likewise of the grain measured in, from those in charge of the granaries, from the very earliest time up to the present, month by month and year by year, and let it be broken down according to the years in which it fell due; and having done this carefully, send it to us in the time of the successors (?), so that we are not prevented on this account from sending down to the city the accounts of the rest, which are ready. The sums that fell due are through Th[…]os and Andron, so that you may check them.
Farewell. Year 25, Pauni 24.

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.
