[…] […] know that I went to Maximianopolis with his friends and I saw them paying in full (?) […] their pronoetes (estate manager). Concerning the […] which he said, demand them from them. And trouble those sitting in authority in the city. They are:
[column i]
[…]

[…]
[column ii]
For let Dionysios the pronoetes of Dionysios learn that we did not find his landowner and did not meet him monthly, as he was satisfied with this. I have sent you the receipts for chaff of Heraklas and Sansnos […] and keep hold of (?) Pathermouthis, until he knows for this monthly (account) whom the strategos sought, not to trouble (them), and also the one who did not readily come to you; if then he seeks these, to trouble (them). Let the receipts for chaff be entered in the accounts so that the friends may see them. I pray for your health for many years, lord brother.

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.
