Memorandum to Asklepiades, oikonomos, from Apollon, who has contracted for the sale of oil at Kaminoi and its dependencies. I have come to owe in addition, against the assessment for Phaophi, 3 metretai of oil, because the mill (?) has made [...] more [...] in the Labyrinth. But for this I have sesame on the threshing floor amounting to 60 artabas, which I will measure out to the king by Hathyr 30. If therefore it seems good to you, write to Harchebis the oikonomos [...] this sesame [...] I have, and that I owe nothing to the masters (?) from the [...] me, and to consider it worthy (?) to measure out the sesame to the king. Farewell.

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.
