Syros to his dearest Heroninos, greetings.
If Demeas is carrying the small timber, provide him with the ox-team that is with you, if he needs it, until he crosses the Chtho and can return at once. You have had sufficient instruction once already about sending back the animals. Even now send them back, so that there is no need for unpleasant letters to you.
I pray for your health, dearest.
Year 3, Tybi 20.
[margin]
I have plenty of firewood ready. And if the ox-team is carrying the sycamore wood, provide fodder.
[verso]
To Heroninos, manager of Theadelphia, from Syros.

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.
