Aurelius Sarapion to Ammon, greetings.
I greet you and your wife together with her children, and our sister […]
Now therefore I write to you, my lord: load onto the boat 6 loads and 178 artabas, so that the whole comes to 196 artabas together. And unload the […] sack of 2 artabas. And do not […] the freight charge to them […] me; for they have already received […] and 400 drachmas. Do not neglect this, but write to your steward so that he may shut them up. […] But if I find the […] boat of 400 artabas […] to you chickling and lentils […] do not neglect the house […] give to them and give […], but see to it: do not neglect […] Pathermouthis and […] 50 drachmas, and if you wish to buy, write to me.
I pray for your health.

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 31287 (see that record)
