Letter to Ischyrion via HGV-meta
Letter to Ischyrion about clearing rue from palms and irrigating an estate. A private letter to Ischyrion, apparently a farm manager, sending 40 drachmas through some traders so that he can clear wild rue from around the date palms of an estate. The writer also asks him to get one or two yokes of oxen for irrigation and announces his own arrival on the 13th. It comes from Oxyrhynchus in the 3rd century AD. machine translation

Greetings, Ischyrion.
Receive through the traders who were split off (?) around Herakleon 40 drachmas, so that you may separate the wild rue from the date palms, especially from the palm of Mikras and the one east of the hut that is next to the courtyard.

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.
