Ammonios to the most honoured Dioskoros, greetings.
Heras, who brings you this letter, is secretary of the farmers at Skandips, and he has to give a defence concerning the report that was submitted. I urge you to accompany him to Markos so that he may receive him until I arrive, since I am concerned about him; you will take care to introduce him to him. Take care [...] of goodwill, which favour I shall owe you for your kindness.
I pray for your health.

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.
