Aurelius Sarapiakos to the most esteemed Dioskoros, greetings.
Know that we owe Kalpournios only 34 artabas, and the rest come from those of the brother. So if he is pressing, let the 34 artabas be measured out to him. And you did not go to the north on account of the guards, nor did you let the old man bring (them). So at once either send, or go there yourself and bring them.
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.
