Bellenus Sabinus to his own Epagathos, greeting.
Please transfer the mustard you have in the storehouse of Sochotes to the man bringing you this letter, and let him carry off 28 artabas, but leave the rest under the seal of both of us until I receive the remainder of the price and write to you again, (then) let him carry it off. Measure the mustard with the four-choinix measure […] receipt (?) […], and tell me how many artabas came out, so that I may know. I have sent you models (?) of 40 large ones for the machine at Chalothis. You will compel Sisois the carpenter to pay up, and you will send to Chalothis, if you find someone among those present who is very trustworthy; and you will send the things for the […] three days before […] at 8 drachmas.
Farewell.
Delivered Phamenoth 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.
