Ammonios, royal scribe of […], to […], royal scribe of the Themistos division of the Arsinoite nome, his dearest, greetings.
Since the [...] tax levied every four years has come due, according to the cycle of years, in the present year, I write to you, dearest, so that you may inform me of the (?) [property transfers] (oikonomiai) completed before you [...] belonging to this nome, in order that the consequent steps may be taken by me. However, as many as were recorded here [...] by the keeper of the property records up to now as belonging to other nomes, these were made known to those whom they concerned. And if now also any are communicated as belonging to the nome under you, they will be made known to you. If not, know that I am content with this letter. I pray for your health, dearest.
Year 15 of the Emperors Caesars Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax Arabicus Adiabenicus Parthicus Maximus and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius Augusti, Pharmouthi 5.
Through […], Pachon 20.

To the royal scribe of the Themistos division

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.
