You were negligent in not sending the grain quickly, especially since there is nothing here. For every day the man comes to us saying, "If he sends to me, (good?) (?); but if not, I shall get it elsewhere." See whether you can hurry […] to the farmer of Arios, since he came saying many things, that he had ordered me not to go to us nor […] to carry off for them. So do not neglect this. Further, take care about the wool and the tow. The monks say that if the cheeses are like this, he should not bring us more (?), for they are still unmade (unripe). And about the […] the harvest vessels (?). And if you are buying for us, do not neglect also the collection (of dues) while the landowner is away, for you know what sort of man he is. Send us wood, for the road is clear. Arkadia says, "Buy me a cushion like yours." Send John his cheeses that are in the storeroom.
I pray for your health for many years, most honoured 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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 32375 (see that record)
