[recto] Panechotes to the most honoured Hephaistion also called Sarapion, greetings. I have already shown you the affection I have for you; and now too I ask you, lord, not to overlook my request. For I have given the man who delivers the letter to you two demosioseis and the letters belonging to them, and 32 drachmas. So, as is your custom, complete their registration at once and give it to him, or to whatever other reliable person you approve, at the bank of Didymos by the library or at the notary's office of Herakleides. Let me know whatever you spend; and if anything more is needed for the clerical fees, my friend will give it to you and I will repay him. Farewell, lord, with all your household. [verso] Hephaistion […] notary's office(?) […]

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.
