Οὐαλέριος Ἥρων ὁ καὶ Σαραπίων λογιστὴς Ὀξυρυγχίτου
Αὐρηλίῳ Σεύθει τῷ καὶ Ὡρίωνι λογιστεύσαντι τῆς αὐτῆς πόλεως
τῷ φιλτάτῳ χαίρειν
γραμμάτων φοιτησάντων τοῦ κυρίου μου διασημοτάτου ἐπάρχου
τῆς Αἰγύπτου Αἰλίου Ὑγίνου περὶ τοῦ τῆς σῆς διοικήσεως τοὺς
πολιτικοὺς λόγους τῶν τε ἐν ἀποθέτοις ὄντων χρημάτων
καὶ τῶν ὀφειλομένων οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ἀνηλῶσθαι δοκούντων
ἀπαιτήσαντά με πρὸς τὴν τάξιν ἀποστεῖλαι εἴσω τῆς ἐνγεγραμμένης προθεσμίας, πάραυτα μὲν ἐπεὶ μὴ παρόντα σε ἑώρων
ἀλλὰ κατὰ κέλευσιν τῶν μειζόνων ἀπεῖναι τῷ γραμματεῖ τῆς πόλεως
ἐπεθέμην τοῦτο πληροῦν, ὅς γε σοῦ ἀπόντος τούτους συστήσασθαι
μὴ δύνασθαι διεβεβαιώσατο καὶ ἐπειδὴ λοιπὸν προσῆκόν ἐστιν
τὸ κεκελευσμένον πληροῦσθαι τὸ ἴσον τῶν γραφέντων ἐπιστέλλω σοι, φίλτατε, ἵνα ἐγνωκὼς ἁρμόσῃ· ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι, φίλτατε.

Valerius Heron also called Sarapion, logistes of the Oxyrhynchite nome, to Aurelius Seuthes also called Horion, former logistes of the same city, his dearest, greetings.
Since a letter has come from my lord the most eminent prefect of Egypt, Aelius Hyginus, concerning the civic accounts of your administration, both of the funds that are in deposit and of those owed, and moreover of those reported to have been spent, ordering me to demand them and send them to his office within the deadline written therein, I immediately, since I saw that you were not present but were absent by order of the higher authorities, undertook to carry this out through the secretary of the city, who however affirmed that he could not compile these accounts in your absence. And since it is now fitting that what has been ordered be carried out, I send you a copy of what was written, dearest, so that, being informed, you may comply. I pray for your health, dearest.
In the consulship of our lords Valerius Licinianus Licinius Augustus and Flavius Valerius Constantinus, son of the emperors, on the 10th day before the Kalends of July.
[Copy:] Aelius Hyginus to the logistes of the Oxyrhynchite nome, greetings. The accounts […] of the administration of the logistes before you […]

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.
