ἀπέστειλα πρὸς σὲ Γερόντιον στρατιώτην
καὶ Δημήτριον σύμμαχον στρατηγοῦ
ὅπως ποιήσῃς τοὺς ὑπευθύνους
πληρῶσαι αὐτοὺς κηροῦ λίτρας ι τοῦ κηρῶνος
καιηκονος Ἀλεξανδρίας. ἀλλʼ ὅρα
μὴ κατάσχῃς αὐτοὺς ὥραν μίαν .
καὶ ἀπόστειλον τὰ ἀργύρια διὰ Κοπρέως
ἐν τῇ σήμερον. ἐρρῶσθαιTranslations (1)
Horion to Dorotheos, assistant, greetings.
I have sent to you Gerontios, soldier, and Demetrios, symmachos of the strategos, so that you may make those responsible pay them in full 10 pounds of wax for the wax-supply of the [...] of Alexandria (?). But see that you do not detain them a single hour.
And send the money through Kopreus today.
Farewell.

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.
