[recto] To Ptollarion, my lord, Sarapyllos, greetings. As soon as I came up from Psenyris yesterday I immediately met the father of the hard-stone worker (?), and he said that he (the son) had gone today to the Herakleopolite nome and would come back again tomorrow, which is the 21st; but that he himself could not leave the baths of the gymnasium. So, if you think fit, lord, send someone to him, so that from there he may come to you. Receive a letter written to the magistrates by his excellency the prefect, and a written order of the deputy of the strategos, and a short letter of Demetrios, and receive the little account of the clearance of the wine of Psenyris; small fish, 4, 4 drachmas; and leeks (?), 2 obols; and the grapes which little Paulina gave you in the basket (?), 10 in number; and […] 10; and in a small chest the grapes which Serenos gave to little Ni[…]. I pray for your health, my lord. Mesore 20. 4 for loading of leaves 5 of wine […] of sweet new wine 6, quarter-measures 2 […] new, tax on bread, total 6 by 4 birds 7 […] 4 [verso] To Ptollarion, 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.
