Ἀπολλώνιος τῶι πατρὶ χαίρειν. ἔγραψάς μοι περὶ τῆς εἰς τὴν σησαμείαν γῆς,
μάλιστα δὲ περὶ τῆς ἐν Πατῶντι· αὕτη μὲν οὖν ἐστιν παντελῶς ἀπηργμένη καὶ ἡ κώμη ἔρημος διὰ τὸ πλείω χρόνον μὴ βεβρέχθαι· τὴν δὲ λοιπὴν γῆν,
θαυμαζω, εἰ μὴ ἀκολουθεῖς ἅπαντα καθώς ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῆς διαγραφῆς τοῦ
εἰς τὸ ιε ἔτος σπόρου μεμισθῶσθαι τοῖς γεωργοῖς· ἐκ δὲ τοῦ προτέρου μέρους
διασάφησον ὅσον βούλει καὶ ἐν αἷς κώμαις ἐξέσται ἡμᾶς λαβεῖν καὶ χρηματίσασθαι
τὴν παρὰ τοῦ βασιλικοῦ χορηγίαν, περὶ δὲ τούτου τοῦ μέρους δεήσει ἐπισχεῖν
ἕως ἂν μάθωμεν περὶ τῶν κεχρηματισμένων εἰς τὸν νομόν.
ἔρρωσο. ἔτους ιδ, Τῦβι ζ.

Ἀπολλωνίωι.Translations (1)
Apollonios to his father, greeting. You wrote to me about the land for the sesame crop, and especially about the land at Patontis. Now this land is completely out of cultivation and the village deserted because it has not been flooded for a long time. As for the rest of the land, I am surprised that you do not follow everything just as it stands in the schedule of the sowing for year 15, that it has been leased to the cultivators. From the former portion, let me know how much you want and in which villages we will be allowed to take it and to receive the supply of funds from the royal scribe; but about this portion it will be necessary to wait until we learn about what has been disbursed to the nome.
Farewell. Year 14, Tybi 7.
[verso]
To Apollonios.

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.
