[recto]
Patron to Laches his father, greeting.
Let not a single one of the tasks in your charge be neglected; with god's help I too am coming down tomorrow.
Protas, the farmer of the 5 arouras of Pelbynis, is writing the report (?). So if he brings you a token or a garment, allow him to sow. The matter of the ktamia (?) is being settled tomorrow; so tell Heron to go over there. I did not find Peneithes the farmer in Kerkesis; so go early in the morning to the Forty-Aroura plot and inspect the flax stalks, and from there go to Theogonis.
I pray for your health.
Hathyr 4.
[verso]
To Laches from Patron.

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.
