Πανίσκος Προτογενίᾳ τῇ συνβίῳ πλεῖστα χαίρειν.
γινώσκειν σε θέλω
ὅτι ἐπιστολὴν ἔδωκα Διοσκόρῳ ὡς αὐτοῦ
ἐλθόντος παρʼ ἐμοῦ, δεύτερον νῦν δέ σοι γράφω ὅτι οὐ δέδωκα αὐτῷ τὸ τάλαντον ἀλλὰ
ἐκτίθησι. δέξαι οὖν
παρὰ τῶν ἰδίων αὐτοῦ τὸ τάλαντον.
καὶ διεπεμψάμην
σοι αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐπιθήκην τοῦ ταλάντου ἵνα
λάβῃς καθὼς προεῖπον. ὁ δὲ Ἑρμείας ὁ ἀδελφός
σού ἐστιν ἐν τῷ πέρα
μετὰ τοῦ ἐπάρχου. πολλάκις φωνὴν αὐτῷ
ἐβάλλομεν ἵνα ἔλθῃ
πρὸς τὸν ἐπανορθωτὴν
Ἀχιλλέα καὶ οὐκ ἦλθεν.
οἱ πλεῖστοι τῶν ιθ κολληγῶν ἡμῶν ἦλθον πρὸς
ἡμᾶς. ἀσπάζομαι
ὑμᾶς, Ἱλιοδώραν
τὴν θυγατέρα μου
καὶ τοὺς ἡμῶν πάντας. Θὼθ ιβ.

[recto]
Paniskos to Protogenia (Ploutogenia), his wife, very many greetings.
I want you to know that I gave a letter to Dioskoros when he came from me, a second one; and now I write to you that I have not given him the talent, but he is paying it out. So receive the talent from his own people. And I have sent you his receipt (?) for the talent, so that you may take it, as I said before. Hermeias your brother is on the other side with the prefect. Many times we called out to him to come to the corrector Achilleus, and he did not come. Most of our 19 colleagues have come over to us. I greet you all, Heliodora my daughter, and all our people. Thoth 12.

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 21350 (see that record)
