from […] ...kraton 36 artabas of barley, and have them sold at (the rate of) 14 drachmas. He has had them for a long time and was unwilling to do our work. If the water comes down, use all zeal until the reservoir is filled, but by all means water the vegetables of our friend Dekasios, by all means. If you have not been watering, do not let the oxen (?) be idle; let them pluck (?) […] […] and […] I sent across […]. I pray for your health.

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.
