κυρίῳ μου ἀδελφῷ
Δωροθέῳ
Χωοῦς ταβουλάριος
χαίρειν.
ἐπειδὴ ὁ τρόφιμός μου Ἀκῶρις χρεωστεῖ ἄχυρον ἵνα οὖν ἀναλάβῃς σαυτῷ
ἃ χρεωστεῖ καὶ
ὅτε μέλλεις
ἐλθεῖν ἄνω
ἔρχεται μετʼ σοῦ
καὶ πληρώνει
σε ὧδε ἄνω.
ὥσπερ ἐκέλευσάς με εἰς ἔργον
ἐποίησα. ἀλλʼ ὅρα
μὴ ἀμελῇς.
καὶ σὺ κέλευε
εἰς ἃ δύναμαι
ἵνα δείξω σοι
προαίρεσιν. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι, ἄδελφε.Translations (1)
To my lord brother Dorotheos, Chous, tabularius, greetings.
Since my foster-son Akoris owes chaff, take upon yourself what he owes, and when you are about to come up, he is coming with you and will pay you here up-country.
As you ordered me, I have put it into effect. But see that you do not neglect it. And you too, give me orders for whatever I can do, so that I may show you my goodwill.
I pray for your health, brother.

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.
