Wanting to reach the village, having been dismissed by your Splendour, I was met by the soldiers who are also the collectors of the aforementioned village of Talkis, and from the first day on which I reached the village I have not been able to collect as I should, because I have no one, as I am writing to it (your Excellency), except only one. So may your Admirableness make every effort to send me quickly one of the kollitiones who also attend upon it, until we again learn their intention; and as I was instructed by the […] to prepare the guards of the mountain […], immediately on receiving the letters here, to send to me from the following […] so as to say nothing at all to them about […] to write to me […]. I have sent by the letter-carrier thirty jars and fifty and […] fifty with much toil […] jars.

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.
