Πισάις Ἡρακλήῳ χαίρειν. ὅταν πρὸς ἀνάγκην θέλῃς
παρʼ ἐμοῦ χρήσασθαί τι, εὐθύς σε οὐ κρατῶ, καὶ νῦν
παρακληθεὶς τοὺς τρεῖς στατῆρας οὓς εἴρηκέ
σοι Σέλευκος δοῦναί μοι ἤδη δὸς Κλέωνι, νομίσας ὅτι κιχρᾷς μοι αὐτούς, ἐάν σε δέῃ τὸ ἱμάτιόν
σου θεῖναι ἐνέχυρον, ὅτι συνῆρμαι λόγον τῷ
πατρὶ καὶ λελοιπογράφηκέ με καὶ ἀποχὴν
θέλω λαβεῖν. Σέλευκος γάρ μου αὐτοὺς ὧδε
ἐκκέκρουκε λέγων ὅτι συνέστακας ἑαυτῶι.
καὶ νῦν παρακληθεὶς νομίσας ὅτι κιχρᾷς μοι
αὐτοὺς μὴ κατάσχῃς Κλέωνα καὶ συνπροσγενοῦ Κλέωνι καὶ αἴτησον Σάραν τὰς τοῦ δραχμὰς ιβ.
μὴ οὖν ἄλλως ποιήσῃς.

Pisais to Herakleios, greeting. Whenever you wish in an emergency to borrow anything from me, I do not hold you back for a moment; so now please give at once to Kleon the three staters which Seleukos told you to give me, considering that you are lending them to me, even if you have to pawn your cloak, because I have settled accounts with my father and he has entered me as owing a balance, and I want to get a receipt. For Seleukos has cheated me of them here, saying that you had put them down to your own account. So now please, considering that you are lending them to me, do not detain Kleon, and go along with Kleon and ask Saras for the 12 drachmas of [...]. Do not fail to do this.
Year 20, Pauni 25.
[verso]

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.
