[recto] To my master Dorotheos, Iatrodoros. Know that I pressed Pinoutis for the money, the twelve units, and he countered: "I owe only six units." And having taken these I went to the trouble of travelling as far as Nesso in order to buy thirty solidi. God willing, whatever hour I come to your nobility, I will have them with me. And so that it may not seem to your nobility to say that I was negligent, I hastened to inform ⟦your nobility⟧ about this the […] […] […] delays (?) […] [I pray for your health for many] years. [verso] To my master Dorotheos, Iatrodoros.

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.
