† εἰ μὴ εἰσῆλθεν Πέτρος μετὰ τῶν γραμμάτων τοῦ κυρίου Ἀγαθημέρου οὐκ ἔμαθον
ὅτι ὁ κατεχόμενος γεωργὸς ἡμῶν ἐστιν καταμένων ἐν τῶ ἐποικίῳ τοῦ κυρίου
Μηνᾶ τοῦ ἀρχίατρου. ἄπελθε τοίνυν μετὰ τοῦ εὐλαβεστάτου Ἄπα Ὡρουωγχίου πρὸς
Ἄπα Νάκιον καὶ ποίησον αὐτὸν ἀπολυθῆναι· οὐδεμία γὰρ ζήτησις γενήσεται
παρʼ ἐμοῦ περὶ τῆς βλάβης τοῦ χωρίου ἢ πρὸς τοὺς ἀγροφυλάκας ἢ πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἄπα Νάκιον
εἴτε αὐτὸς αἴτιός ἐστιν ὡς λέγουσιν εἴτε ἄλλος. εἰ δὲ εἰδῇς αὐτὸν δυσχεραίνοντα
ἀπολῦσαι αὐτὸν ὅπερ οὐ πιστεύω ἀναδέξασθε αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπολύσατε ἕως ἐξέλθω
καὶ συντύχω αὐτῷ, τὸ δὲ ἄχυρον ποίησον μετενεχθῆναι. ἰδοὺ γὰρ καὶ ἄρτι δύο
σαργάνας ἀπέστειλα. † εἰ δὲ χρεία γένοιτο τοῦ ἀπελθεῖν ὑμᾶς κ[…]ας Λευ…

† If Petros had not come in with the letter of lord Agathemeros, I would not have learned that the detained farmer is ours, living in the hamlet (epoikion) of lord Menas the chief physician. Go, therefore, with the most pious Apa Horouonchios to Apa Nakios and have him released; for no inquiry will be made by me about the damage to the estate, either against the field guards or against Apa Nakios himself, whether he himself is to blame, as they say, or someone else. But if you see that he is reluctant to release him, which I do not believe, stand surety for him and get him released until I come out and meet with him; and have the chaff transferred. For look, I have just now sent 2 baskets. † And if there should be need for you to go […] Leu… the procurator, go. †

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 38247 (see that record)
