† καὶ τὴν ὑποδοχὴν πᾶσαν τοῦ μακαρίου Ἰούστου αὐτὸς ὑπόδεξαι,
καὶ μὴ ἐάσῃς τὸν σῖτον ἐπάνω τῶν γεωργῶν. ἔασον δὲ
Φίβιν ἐγγὺς σοῦ, ἵνα διδάξῃ σε τὰ πράγματα ἕως ὅτε μάθω
ποῖον τύπον ὀφείλω δοῦναι αὐτῷ. τὸν δὲ σύμμαχον Ἰούστου ἔασον ἐγγὺς
σοῦ ἕως ὅτε πληρώσῃ τὸν ἐνιαυτὸν αὐτοῦ. ☧

† ... and receive yourself the whole receipt (of dues) of the late Ioustos, and do not leave the grain in the hands of the farmers. Keep Phibis near you, so that he may teach you the business until I learn what arrangement I ought to give him. And keep the messenger (symmachos) of Ioustos near you until he completes his year. ☧

† Deliver to the most admirable Theodoros, with God, steward, † from Sarapammon.

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.
