[…] the same […] of this time […] and sell the provincial (?) grain and collect the money and keep it with you until I come, since I need it. Go also to Myrtale and ask her for ⟦all⟧ the money; and if she does not want to give it to you, lock her up. See to it that I do not come and find the wall unbuilt. And prepare the exedra, and let the dining room be furnished, as Apphys wishes to be there; shake out the woollen cloths and the garments; and look after the children and the household affairs. Look after little Isidora.
I pray for your health. Pachon 25.

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.
