[recto] […] […] […] Epimachos to Philippos, greetings. Since Sarapion the hypodioiketes has appended for us a copy of the letter to you concerning the oil factory and kiki-oil factory in Herakleopolis, which Petos, the man in charge of the workshops, reported to be idle because the loads are not being brought in from the nome […] it has come about, see to it that the materials sufficient for the processing are transported quickly, so that Sarapion, as he has additionally set out, may fix the prices for the liquid (oil) and that what is [assigned] to you may be speedily carried out […] Farewell. Year 22, Choiak 25. [verso] To the sitologos (?) [… 3 lines lost …] To Philippos

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.
