Bellenus Sabinus to his own Geminus, greeting.
Please give Vestinus, for his yoke, a new strong yoke-strap, which you will also grease carefully, from those in the chest of the wineskins (?) which you have with you, so that on his way up he may take it away, since his own has been cut. And ask the hunchbacked tanner for the hide of the calf that we sacrificed. Farewell.
Delivered Pauni 6.

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.
