Ioannes Theodoros Menas Narses Chnoubammon Horion Hephaistos, the most glorious quaestor, dux and augustalis of the province of the Thebaid.
Since the time has arrived, with God's help, when care must be taken for the indispensable grain shipment of the fortunate eighth […] indiction, avoiding all blame for negligence, make haste with all fear to send it off to the great city of the Alexandrians, loading the required measure into small boats directly
and immediately, according to the list set out below, at the risk of the office staff; for it is for this reason that it has been sent from the office. † Farewell †

† You must, following the example of the seventh indiction just past, bring in the measure of grain set out below on account of the embole (grain levy) of the eighth indiction and load it onto ships, and send the proedros and the epimeletes and the sailors together with the ships laden with the produce to the office for the customary processing of the records, so that after this the same measure may be sent to the great city of Alexandria.
Of grain, by the kankellon measure, 4,880 artabas.

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.
