νομισμάτων λάβω. καὶ αὐτῶι δὲ οὐκ ὀχλῆσαι ἐλπίζω εὑρεῖν τὴν χρείαν αὐτῆς εἰς ἄλλας
δύο ἡμέρας. ἀπεταξάμην γάρ. νομίζω ὅτι ἐγένετο ἡ χρεία αὕτη, καὶ πρὸ ἐχθὲς
ἐπωλήθησαν δύο ἕκαστον δύο ἥμισυ νομίσματα εἰς Ψενῦριν. ἀπέστειλα δὲ μετὰ τοῦ γραμματηφόρου κοριάξους παστοὺς ἐννέα καὶ νεαροὺς πέντε. πολλὰ δὲ ἀσπάζομαι τὰ τίμια ἴχνη τοῦ

… letter from my lord today ….. I sent people with three(?) nomismata – so here are nomismata of earnest-money (?)/as down payment. The rest of four [nomismata for four …….]. If not %for four%, I do not want three – I will supply [the remaining one] nomisma. And if (you? he?) wish/wishes (maybe: to sell four for three sol.), I will take the rest of the four nomismata. And I hope he will not have trouble finding your necessity (or: what you need) in the other (i.e., next) two days. For I gave up. I believe that such a need appeared. And the day before yesterday two were sold, each for two and a half nomismata, to Psennouris (or rather: in Psennouris?). With the messenger I sent koriaxoi, nine salted and five fresh. I greet very much the worthy footsteps of my 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.
