Customs-type delivery list and letter of Apollonios to Serapammon about wedding supplies.

Mesore 28
Philoxas, bringing in 2 artabas of lentils
and the same, 2 artabas of onions
Polydeukes, bringing in 6 jars of wine
29 Hermes
30 Psames, bringing in 1 artaba of lupines
Horos, bringing in lupines, 2 donkeys, 6 artabas
To Serapammon from Apollonios.
See that you forget nothing:
the garlands and the tablets (?), and buy a jar of boiled-down wine, and take so many kotylai of lentils that it may suffice for us, and the vegetables from Serenos, beets and other vegetables, and for the children chrystoumina (?) and other modest things, to hang up in the bridal chamber, and Alexandrian cakes
[…]
[…]
Come down on the fourth day. So do not neglect the honey-wine, since Mynios needs it
[…]
[verso]
Deliver to Serapammon, contractor of the desert guard.

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 29251 (see that record)
