†
† After leaving the city I shall reach Takona and go up to the monastery of Saint George and load (?) there. And I looked for Mousaios, son of Staurophania, on account of the money-payment for the things I handed over (?) to him; and I found that he had fled. And see, I have also sent to you the letter of his that was sent to me by him after he fled, so that you may read it, and also the letter of the lord Bakchos the scholastikos. For you know that he answered for him and that I hold his surety. And see, I have written a letter to the same lord Bakchos, that he come to Takona and inspect his property. So keep the letter of Mousaios and send it to me, so that I may keep it as evidence. †

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.
