So, being asked, order such an account to be given to us. Concerning the sums of money moved, master Kosmas the chartularius […] of the dispatches, and we ask […] that God may grant complete deliverance and we may do obeisance at the footsteps of your magnificence. For by the Mother of God, so that […] so grudgingly do matters stand […] [verso] […] to George, comes and deputy landholder, † Philip and Menas, your servants.

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.
