So now at least write to me whether you have been paid by Martyrios the [...] [which you] lent (?) at Pakerke. If then you are paid by Martyrios and the things of the man of Paker[ke] [...] as you told me. Be willing to go to the village of Posompous [to collect for] Menas and for you, Serenos. Do not be willing to take for yourself from Hamoleis [...] but let Menas and the boy take it. The rest [...] [you, S]erenos, deposit the gold at Posompous. If then you go there, [do not neglect this, since] I am openly indebted for 15 carats of Alexandrian gold of the indiction. See then that you [do not do otherwise].

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.
