Corrispondenza heroniniana - Alypios via HGV-meta

From Alypios.
I have sent three young camels so that you may send me yoke-beams (?). By all means, then, load the three camels with six yoke-beams; for you have the ones which I myself saw […] lying by the estate of Chrysochoos; and you also have others set aside […] […]. Cut them without fail and send them.
I need eight-cubit […] nine-cubit […] of the boxes (?) of the […] drawing water […] load the three turning-beams (?) […] so that you may not suffer loss on their freight charges; and let them be good and […] well made. For if […] for yourself […]
To the camel drivers who come, however, give the customary provisions. 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.
