p.lond.7.2066 Mitte III v.Chr.
Letter to Kallikrates on conversion rates for barley paid instead of wheat. A letter or memorandum to a certain Kallikrates, urging him to remind Dionysodoros to have barley delivered in place of wheat accepted at the correct conversion rate, since some payers had been charged too much. The writer offers to recopy the loan account onto four sheets. It dates to the mid-3rd century BC, probably from the Zenon archive milieu. machine translation

ἐὰν μνησθῆις Διονυσοδώρωι
πρὸ τοῦ τὰς εἰσμετρήσεις πραγματευθῆναι Καλλικράτην, ὅπως
παρὰ τῶν τὴν ἀντὶ τοῦ πυροῦ
καὶ κριθοπύρου κριθὴν
εἰσμεμετρημένων καὶ εἴ τι ἄλλο τοιοῦτο γένος εἰσμετρεῖται συντάξηι
ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ λόγον προσδέχεσθαι,
οὐκ ὀλίγον πλῆθος σίτου σοι κουφισθήσεται, διὰ τὸ ἐνίοις ἀντὶ μιᾶς
διμοίρου ἀρτάβαιγ προσλελογίσθαι, τισὶν
δὲ δύο , τοῖς δὲ καὶ πλεῖον, ἐνίοις δʼ ἐκ τοῦ κατὰ λόγον. τοῦτο δʼ εὐχερές
ἐστιν διὰ τὸ ἐν τοῖς λόγοις μηθὲν τοιοῦτο διεστάλθαι, ἀλλʼ ἐν αὐτῶι τῶι τῶν
δανείων, ὃν μεταγράψαντες ὡσαύτως
θησόμεθα· ἱκανοὶ γὰρ ἔσονται χάρται δ.
ἀπολογιεῖ δὲ τοὺς σιτολόγους αἰτίους εἶναι
οὐ διεσταλκότας αὐτούς.Translations (1)
If you remind Dionysodoros, before the receipts of grain are dealt with, Kallikrates, to instruct that from those who have measured in barley instead of wheat and wheat-barley, and if any other such kind is measured in, the amount be accepted according to the proper rate, no small quantity of grain will be lightened for you, because for some 3 artabas have been reckoned instead of one and two-thirds, for others two, for others even more, and for some according to the proper rate. This is easy, because nothing of this sort has been specified in the accounts, but in the account of the loans itself, which we shall copy out and enter in the same way; for 4 sheets will be enough.
And he will plead in defence that the sitologoi are responsible, since they did not specify these things.

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.
