Horion to his dearest Heraklios, greetings.
Let a little warrant be sealed for me against the public officials of Enteeis, since our machine was stolen in the field: the field-guard and the eirenarchs (officers of the peace) and the archephodos (chief of police), on the petition of Sarapion, gymnasiarch, so that I may bring them up on the 10th, when I come up. Take care of this, since they thoroughly despise our house in every matter, especially this archephodos.
I have sent the grain by Pekysis the donkey-driver.
I pray for your health.

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.
