To my lord, most honoured brother Thalasios,
Dorotheos.
Please look up Didymos the tanner(?) at the inn(?) in Oxyrhynchus and receive from him the garment set (synthesis), which I forgot long ago, and the woollen glaucous-blue cloth, which I gave him so that he might dye it, and give him 1 keration as payment for the dyeing; and if brother Anastasios has received the garment set, look him up […]

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.
