παρὰ Κληματίης γεούχου
Παπνουτίῳ προνοητῇ Σαδάλου χαίρειν.
παραμέτρησον εἰς τὸ πακτωνάριν Παγᾶτος
σιτοφάκου ἀρτάβας ἓξ ἵνʼ ἔχωμεν ὧδε,
καὶ βοήθησον Παγᾷ ἵνʼ ἔχωμεν ἐκεῖ ἔκτακτα τῆς τρύγης, καὶ πείρα καὶ ἔριον
ἀνένεγκον διὰ τοῦ πάκτωνος καὶ μὴ ἀμελήσητε διὰ τὴν ὀπτόπλινθον.
καὶ ἀπαίτησον τὸν Παῦμιν τὰ δὺο κεράμια τοῦ μέλιτος διὰ τὴν ἑορτὴν
καὶ τὰ μελικηρίδια καὶ Παγᾶν τὸ ἔριον.Translations (1)
From Clematia, landowner, to Papnuthis, steward of Sadalos (?), greetings.
Measure out into the boat of Pagas 6 artabas of wheat-and-lentils (?), so that we may have them here, and help Pagas so that we may have there extras of the vintage, and bring up pears (?) and wool by the boat, and do not neglect (the matter) of the baked brick.
And demand from Paumis the 2 jars of honey for the festival, and the honeycombs, and from Pagas the wool.

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.
