Παήσιος Ἀρχελάωι τῶι
φιλτάτωι χαίρειν.
τοῦ ἀναδιδόντος σοι τὸ ἐπιστόλιόν
μου ναυκλήρου Πανεμουῶτος
προνόησον σὺν πάσῃ σπουδῇ ἐνβαλέσθαι αὐτοῦ τὸν γόμον ὡς ἔθος ὃν
ἔχεις ἐν χερσὶ καὶ λεκτῷ ἐνβαλέσθαι,
καὶ τοὺς δειγματοάρτας καθʼ αὑτὸν
ἀναπέμψαι πρὸς ζυγοστασίαν
λαβόντα παρὰ τῶν ἀρχεφόδων
ὀνάριον. ἀπεντεῦθεν μὲν οὖν
συνσκυλῆθι αὐτῷ καὶ ἰδέτω
τοὺς θησαυρούς, καὶ τοὺς σιτολόγους καὶ τοὺς ἄλλους τοὺς πρὸς
τὴν χρείαν ὧν τὰ ὀνόματά σοι
ἔπεμψεν Ἁρποκρατίων ἐν
ἑτοίμῳ ποίησον ἵνα μηδὲν
ἐνπόδιον ᾖ. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι, φίλτατε.

Paesis to his dearest Archelaos, greetings.
Take care with all diligence to load the cargo of the shipmaster from Panemouou, who is delivering my letter to you, as is customary, (the cargo) which you have in hand, and to load it with picked (grain), and to send up the sample-carriers by himself (?) for weighing, having obtained a donkey from the chiefs of police. From here, then, go to the trouble of accompanying him, and let him see the granaries; and have the sitologoi and the others needed for the task, whose names Harpokration sent you, in readiness, so that there may be no hindrance. I pray for your health, dearest.
[verso]
To Archelaos, assistant.

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.
