[recto] † I have received what was written by your genuine brotherliness, and before she (?) goes up tomorrow, you will make the people from Terythis give to the people of Leonides concerning Tampeti(?) […] […] […] bring the same headmen, or make them hand over the farmers belonging to others. Rather, let the headmen of Pheretnouis also come up, so that we may know the former state (?) of the estate of Hierax. But make haste for tomorrow's settlement. † [verso] † To my master, in all things most illustrious, worthy of honour, genuine brother, George, comes and administrator, † Victor, with God, landowner's deputy.

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.
