[…] καὶ ἂν μὴ γράψω τῇ σῇ διαθέσει, οὐκ ἀγνοεῖ ὡς ὅτιπερ ἱκανοὶ τυγχάνουσι καὶ εὔποροι οἱ ὄντες
πρὸς σέ, ὅτι δὲ οὐ μεθʼ ἑαυτῆς ἀναφέρει τὸν οἶνον ἡ σὴ θαυμασιότης καὶ τοῦτο εὔδηλον.
μανθανέτω τοίνυν ἡ σὴ διάθεσις τὴν ποσότητα τοῦ οἴνου τοῦ παντὸς χωρίου καὶ
οὕτω σημειωσάτω καὶ μείνῃ παρὰ τοῖς ἀμπελουργοῖς ἄχρις οὗ γνωσώμεθα
τὸ τίνος τυγχάνει ἡ γῆ. οὔτε γὰρ οἶμαι ἐκείνους τοὺς ἄνδρας τοσοῦτον ῥιψοκινδύνους ὡς καὶ
ἀποκαλύπτειν γῆν ἢ καὶ χωρίον προσῆκον τῷ κόμετι.

[recto]
From […]
[…] and even if I do not write to your disposition, it is not unaware that those who are with you happen to be capable and well-to-do, and that your admirableness does not carry the wine off with itself, this too is quite clear. Let your disposition therefore learn the quantity of the wine of the whole estate, and so let it make a note of it, and let it remain with the vinedressers until we find out to whom the land belongs. For I do not think those men are so reckless as even to lay claim to (?) land or an estate belonging to the comes. ⟦because they are capable of giving account also concerning it⟧
[verso]
[…] Deliver to my lord, most admirable brother […] Heraklios, notary, from Ioannes.

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.
