[… lines lost …]
[…] the artaba of […] is sold for 86 drachmas; I found it at 60 drachmas the artaba. And as you instructed me about the price of the wine, namely: "Sell 1 jar for 9 drachmas", just now not a single person has bought. But I have given up to the harvest season 75 jars in number, at 1,000 drachmas per hundred, as you said. If you wish to send for the man who was found on the estate, send, since he is expecting to flee. I pray for your health.
[verso]
[…] from […] the steward (phrontistes).

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 21527 (see that record)
