Ninnos to his dearest Heroninos, greetings.
You have come to such misfortune, spending so much income, that you do not have a single artaba of lotos-seed (?). So I have meanwhile sent you the artaba. But know that unless you take care of everything for yourself, you are bringing great misfortune on yourself. And Heras too, the manager of Myron's estate, accused you of owing, from the price of reeds since the month of Mecheir, 160 drachmas, total 160 drachmas, and he is being much troubled by those who sold the reeds. So take care to send him the drachmas.
Year 2, Thoth 16. I pray for your health, dearest.
So that you do not fall under blame in this matter too.

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.
