To my lord Heron, strategos, Philadelphos and Dioskoros, greetings. We received your letter through Isidoros, mountain-guard of the village of Philadelphia, (asking us) to report to you the account from the 21st to the 27th, what it is that we have received from each village. Having drawn up the account, we sent it through a public servant of your office. When you sent to us the mountain-guard […] […] with your […] he asked us for the copy, and we wrote back to you that, having made the account, we had sent it. We pray for your health, my lord.

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.
