Brief via HGV-meta
Letter from a monastic superior to Petros about Arsinoite deliveries and a shipmaster. A letter from the head of a religious establishment to his 'brother' Petros, a high-ranking man, acknowledging his letter about the reception of some item or levy of the Arsinoite nome for the 11th indiction. The writer professes loyalty to the patrons Menas and Apion and raises the difficulties of a shipmaster after the glorious Hephaistos took office, probably AD 546/547. machine translation

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 37226 (see that record)
