A business letter from Dorion and Dokimos to Herakleios and Hermeinos reporting that they took 35 workmen to an allotment of land but found little furrowing work possible because the floodwater had not yet receded.

Dorion and Dokimos […] to Herakleios and Hermeinos, most honoured, greetings.
As you ordered, we went across (?) […] to the kleros today with 35 workmen, and we found ourselves scarcely able to find work in furrowing for even today alone, since the kleros needs more digging, the water not yet having receded. If then it seems good to you, as it also seemed good to us and to Kornelios, to use shadufs (?), give orders that it be done. For this […] and […]

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 25900 (see that record)
