[… lines lost …] […] […] […] for I hope in God that my lord Epimachos [wishes] to be persuaded and will perhaps concede the joint purchase (?) each […] as he enters, to my lord Eudaimon. Troilos is clearly troubling me; [therefore] send him the […] quickly, so that I may not be troubled like this. […] I sent the price in kind to the friends; receive it and at the same time […] send [to the friends]; for it is time to press on, lest I hear […] [that] it is unseemly and not possible. Deliver one small pen (?) [through] […] to my lord brother Petros; and the rest of the […] quickly; for God knows that […] them. Deliver through the same person […] [to my lord] brother Demetrios one pound […] [send] quickly; however a little […] of goods to the friends, not […] of them, so that with the others […] I pray for your health for many years, my lord 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.
