Greetings, my lord Aurelius Theon, from Dioskoros.
Before you wrote to me about the […] and the wine-presses, I began from Epeiph 1 to […] the wine-presses up to the 12th, and none of them needs repair. I considered harvesting the (vineyard) of Herodes and carrying (the grapes) over to Nek…is (?) using the wooden baskets of Petobastis, since he has none (?). If you wish, let me know; and likewise also about the willow-grove of the tabularius. Compared with last year, I agreed to clear it for 16 drachmas.
Sarapion is the cultivator of the tabularius, so that when you go out you may have (dealings?) with him […] and the (plot?) opposite will also be […]
[…] this […]

From Dioskoros […]

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 31497 (see that record)
