Deign therefore to [send] me two contubernia (?) of bucellarii, so that I may collect 100 solidi and send them to my master within two days on account of the stone-tax, and also concerning the other charges which we put into the list, so that I may collect these as well. So let my master not neglect this, since it is the time of payment. I asked the receiver about the grain, how much he had received, and he said: "I gave a list to Mountanos when he was leaving, Goxa (?) only." And so that you may know that the grain too is in arrears. […] and only account […] and […] therefore in return for which […] if I come […]

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.
