σιτικῶν ἀρταβῶν, μέτρωι δρόμωι
πυροῦ ἀρτάβας ἕξ · ἀλλὰ Νεμεσίωνα τὸν ἀδελφὸν
παραλαβὼν καὶ αὐτὸς πᾶσιν σφραγισάτω· ἀλλὰ ποίησον αὐτὰ προπεμφθῆναι διὰ τοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς κώμης·
ἐπεὶ ἀναγκαῖος φίλος
μοι περὶ τούτου ἐπέθετο,

ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.

[recto]
Ptollarion to Kronion, greetings.
Measure out to the one who delivers my little letter to you, from the grain artabas that I use, 6 artabas of wheat by the dromos measure. But take Nemesion the brother along and let him too seal all of them. And have them sent on by the people from the village. Since a close friend pressed me about this, I was not able to leave it undone.
I pray for your health.
[verso]
To Kronion, manager, from Ptollarion.

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.
