πολλάκις κατὰ πρόσταξιν τῆς αὐτῶν ἐξουσίας γεγράφηκα τὸν λόγον τῷ
εὐδοκιμωτάτῳ Θεοφάνει καταλαβεῖν τὴν Ἀντινοέων, καὶ οὐκ ἠνέσχετο τοῦτο
ποιῆσαι. τῶν οὖν ταξιωτῶν σταλέντων οὐκ εὑρίσκω προσανενεγκεῖν τῇ αὐτῶν
ἐξουσίᾳ περί τε τοῦ εἰρημένου εὐδοκιμωτάτου Θεοφάνους περί τε τῆς
ἀφέσεως τοῦ ὄντος ἐν φυλακῇ γεωργοῦ, καὶ σὺν θεῷ εὑρίσκω εὐκαιρίαν
προσαναφέρω τῇ αὐτῶν ἐξουσίᾳ καὶ ἐλπίζω εἰς τὸν θεὸν ὅτι ἑκάτερον ἔχει
προβῆναι. †

[recto]
Many times, by order of their excellency, I have written word to the most esteemed Theophanes to come to the city of the Antinoites, and he did not consent to do this. So when the taxiotai were sent, I found no way to report to their excellency about the said most esteemed Theophanes and about the release of the farmer who is in prison; and, God willing, when I find an opportunity I will report to their excellency, and I hope in God that each matter will go forward. †
[verso]
To my master in all things, the most magnificent and admirable Anatolios, comes. 643.

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.
