Hermas to Sarapion his brother, greetings.
I have taken care of the jars. I have sold 1 for 8 drachmas, and Epagathos brought […] and paid for 3 others at 16 drachmas. The last 5 that were brought up are useless; the others do not fetch the same price. So if you find someone coming, let me know whether you are willing to sell for less. But if I do not manage to sell them in time, I shall leave them as they are. I pray for your health.
Tybi 29.

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.
