[recto] From † To my master, the most magnificent and most glorious stratelates Kyrillos, from your servant Alos, eirenarch of Kaminoi. I had written to your Greatness about the son of Apa Nakios, that I had entered him in your list (pittakion). Do not allow anyone to pass him by […] already […] and behold, Eulysios brought an answer in the name of your Greatness that the son of Apa Nakios is foreign to the list, and the solidus […] to give is counted towards the payment of Eulysios. And behold, he paid his solidus, he put it into the collection. Please demand another one from him. And he sought to leave the village, and I did not allow him without my master's leave. For your Greatness knows that I want no one close to me except my brothers. And you wrote to me on his account; I did as your Authority ordered, master. † [verso] † To my master, the most magnificent stratelates Kyrillos.

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.
