[… lines lost …] […] only (?) the price of the […] to the donkey-driver, asking […] him that they steal outright (?). I urge you therefore to send to Hermanias, the man with the donkey, […] twenty pairs and one basket of ascalonian onions (?), and send me dates. And concerning the rent, since the tenant is giving us trouble, what harm does it do you to let her hold it back? And if you have cabbage seed (?), send us 11 artabas and 2 drachmas for expenses. And if he exchanges the wheat, urge him to come down because of the measuring fee (?) for the 20 artabas. Greet Aphynmous and my mother and everyone in the house. Farewell. Year 7 of Nero the lord, Tybi 14.

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.
