Lucius Bellenus Gemellus to Sabinus his son, greetings.
Please, on receiving my letter, send me Pindaros the field-guard of Dionysias to the city, since Hermonax asked me that he might take him to Kerkesoucha to inspect his olive grove, because it is dense and he wants to cut out some of the trees, so that the ones that are to be cut out may be cut skilfully. And send the fish on the 24th or 25th for the birthday feast of Gemella. So do not neglect (?) your shaking-out (?).
Farewell. Year 4 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus, Choiak 18.

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.
