Greetings, brother […] Sarapion, from Hermias.
After much effort I barely persuaded our brother Paris to confirm the 50 artabas of wheat for the 900 drachmas, and I received 560 drachmas. So you, taking the other 340 drachmas, buy for Paris pair(s) […] of coverlets, and 2 pairs of bath towels and 4 small dishes, for his children 1 pair, and for me 1 pair of good, large coverlets. Please be so kind as to demand from Syras the fuller twenty-four drachmas, 24, and the remaining 5 drachmas to complete the 120 drachmas; and demand from Tannous […] drachmas, and go to Onnophris the oil-maker and learn from the receipt what he has paid, and demand the remainder to complete the 144 drachmas. You know also that Tannous still owes 48 of the drachmas; learn from the receipt what he owes and exact it from him. If you collect all this, they must be bought and spread out for the 1st of the new year; for you know the custom, which I urge you not to neglect. I pray for your health throughout your whole life.
[verso]
To Sarapion, […]

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 27153 (see that record)
