[recto]
Hermogenes to Ischyras his brother, greeting.
Please load for me 200 empty jars, as I asked you before. You have the 16 silver drachmas sent through Saras, and I gave Hermas 12 drachmas to give to you.
If you especially need two small pieces of wood so that you can bring down the wheel of the machine for me, through […] it will be brought up to you. As for the rest,
farewell.
[verso]
To my dearest Ischyras.

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.
