[recto]
To Hierax, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division,
from Valerius and Sarapion and Gebinas and the others whom you ordered to be put in charge of the village of Philadelphia, to their lord, greetings.
Since the assessment (?) of this village is not small, and we have great need of help, and most of those in charge in the village, especially the field guards, are not attending diligently to the collection, we ask that they receive an examination from you, so that the collection may also be carried out more carefully.
We pray for your health.
[verso]
To Hierax, strategos of the Arsinoite nome, Herakleides division.

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.
