[recto] To my lord Alypios, from Heroneinos, manager at Sathro. The men from the (estate?) of Taurinos [...] […] […] but we meanwhile […] will work on our own canal until the men from Taurinos also come, so that we may work together on the new canal, if it please your Fortune to order that […] 10 (?) river-workers be found for the new canal so that they may work; for the people of Sathro wanted this, to give money so that the work may be done more quickly and the villagers may work by their gangs (?). So I write to you so that whatever seems good to you may be done. I pray for your health, lord, prospering with all your household. Year 7, Epeiph 13. [verso] To my lord Alypios, from Heroneinos, manager at Sathro. [verso, top margin] Year 1 of the Emperors Caesars Titus Fulvius Junius Macrianus and Titus Fulvius Junius Quietus, Pious, Fortunate, Augusti, Thoth 1.

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.
