Aurelius Dioskourides also called Julianus, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome,
to Claudius Herakleios also called Plutarchos, praepositus of the 1st pagus, his dearest, greetings.
In accordance with the order of my lord the procurator of the Heptanomia, Valerius Sarapodoros, make haste to have supplied from your pagus to Chairemon son of Stephanos and Serenos son of Nemesion, from the Oxyrhynchite nome, and to their partners, the merchants, in return for what they supplied at the city of Memphis to the most noble soldiers stationed there, 4,850 pounds of meat, the receipts (formaria) of which distribution they bring in hand, the equal number of pounds, four thousand eight hundred and fifty, receiving from them the same receipts in order that they may be credited to those making the provision man by man, depositing them with the strategic office, (namely the receipts) of those making the contribution of this weight.
I pray for your health, dearest.
In the consulship of our master Maximinus Augustus for the 2nd time, Mesore 29 […] 29

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.
