Herais to Agrippinus her son, very many greetings. Before all else I pray that you are well and prospering. Know, child, that Dioskoros and I went to the strategos with Asklas, who said: "I brought a report of the iuridicus, and we had no document at all." Therefore, when asked (?), take a copy, put it in a jar and seal it, and you will give it to my brother or to Julianus or to Valerius Rufus; and whatever you send, write it in a letter, seal it and send it. And we must stay on in the city for ten more days.

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.
