To my lord brother Tyrannus, Choous, greeting.
As you said that the boikoi (?) owe, trust them; for we know, brother, that they owe on account of the pounds 244 myriads.
Make haste, brother, to have them given to my brother Eulogios, since you yourself said 'trust them', and I trusted. So do not neglect it; have the money given to Eulogios my brother. Since I have [some] days here, do not neglect it. […] you and your father.
I pray for your health, my lord brother.

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.
