[recto] Year 10, Phaophi 9, (wheat), to Harmachoros. Theodoros to Theomnestos, greeting. When we came to Petachor on the 1st of Phaophi with Haronnophris the toparch in order to settle accounts with the farmers there, so that they might receive the seed due to them, and not finding […] of the village scribe's office […] so that […] the distribution (?) may take place and […] subscription […] as we also held back in the order of payment until he arrived. Please, therefore, write to those concerned, so that the land does not remain unsown for this reason and we are not held to blame. Farewell. Year 10, Phaophi 8. [verso] To Theomnestos.

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.
