Greetings to Asklepiades. Concerning the warlike assignments from Memphis, we have written that those holding lots in Memphis and those newly [settled] in the Arsinoite were to be collected by the tax collectors. You have written to us offering them for justification, the collectors claiming that they do not reside here. Therefore, the tax collectors are ill-advised to enroll [them]; for it is incumbent upon them to remit the payments, showing to whom they should [show] the collections of the pentauron [...] and ensure to arrange for them not to falsely accuse us in the same matters twice. Farewell in the year 14, Mesore 12.

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.
