Ptolemaios to Athenodoros, overseer (pronoetes), greetings.
Three gold solidi are owed for the commodium of Psobthis Mese, about which I am being harassed by the strategos. So collect them from the debtors and send them up to me today so that they may be paid in. And concerning those from Plelo, there is owed …… ; do the same with them too.
If, after receiving my note and reading it, you throw it up on top of your window-ledge, I too will wash my hands of it and have you summoned and made to pay.
For it is enough if I bear the burdens of our troubles. I pray for your health.
Year 13, Thoth 12.

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.
