[r] Αὐρήλιος Ἀθηνόδωρος Σερήνωι τῶι φιλτάτῳ χαίρειν. ἔγραψα Μαξίμῳ ἐμβαλέσθαι τὴν κριθὴν τὴν ἐν Ὀξυρυγχίτῃ, καὶ τὸν ὄνον καὶ ὅλα γ πλοῖα διεπεμψάμην. ἐὰν οὖν ἐν Ποσονποῦς ἦν ἢ ἐν ἄλλῳ τινὶ τόπῳ, μετάπεμψαι αὐτὸν τὴν ταχίστην ὅπως πάντα καταλιπὼν ἔλθηι καὶ τὴν ἐμβολὴν ποιήσηται, καὶ σὺ οὖν συλλαβοῦ μοι εἰς τοῦτο.

[recto] Aurelius Athenodoros to his dearest Serenus, greetings. I have written to Maximus to load the barley that is in the Oxyrhynchite nome, and I have sent off the donkey and 3 whole boats. So if he is at Posompous or in some other place, send for him as quickly as possible so that he may leave everything and come and carry out the loading, and you too, then, help me in this. [verso] To Serenus, rhetor, from Aurelius Athenodoros.

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.
