Philippos to his dearest Heronianos, greetings.
Euphilos settled accounts with me for 400 artabas of wheat and […] artabas of barley, as I reported to you on another occasion too, and I think you are taking pains for us until you receive them. So I decided not to trouble you […] them […] So […] report (?) […] 1 artaba of wheat […] It was decided that […] there 200 artabas of olyra. So I instructed Deios, my associate (?), that together with you he should sell them and that you should transfer the price to Deios, and that he should sell the barley to you at 16 drachmas the artaba. But by all means make an effort to take delivery from the man, for I know your good sense.
I pray for your health, dearest.

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 31941 (see that record)
