[recto]
Aurelius Dioskoros to Aurelius Petemenophis, greetings.
Before all else I pray that you are in good health, and I make your obeisance before the ancestral gods. As I instructed Horos concerning the cargo of wine, it was closed up well, and the kalloine(?) […] and I sealed it. If you are going to send money, send it in purple. Receive through the one delivering this letter to you 80 pomegranates. I greet Herakleides warmly and his children after Herakleides, if you wish to send him the small change or to buy amitai (cakes) together.
I pray for your health and good fortune throughout life.
[verso]
From Dioskoros.

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.
