κυρίῳ μου ἀδελφῷ Ἀμμωνίῳ
Σαραπάμμων χαίρειν.
ἀπήντησεν πρὸς σὲ ὁ ἀδελφὸς
ἡμῶν Δωρόθεος ἀξιωθεὶς ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ ὥστε αὐτὸν ἀπαιτῆσαι τὰς ἐχθέσεις
τὰς λοιπαζομένας τῆς τετάρτης ἰνδικτίωνος.
οἶδας ὅτι καὶ τὰ ἐνέχυρα ἡμῶν ἔξω εἰσὶν
καὶ ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν Διόσκορος ἔχρησεν ἡμῖν
καὶ αὐτὸν θέλομεν πληρῶσαι· διὸ σπουδή σοι
γενέσθω συνβαλέσθαι αὐτῷ μετὰ καὶ τῶν
συμμάχων ἄχρις οὗ ἂν τὴν ἀπαίτησιν ποιήσῃ τῆς τετάρτης ἰνδικτίωνος· αὐτὸς γὰρ
καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτῶν δύναται εἰδέναι
καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἠξίωσα αὐτὸν ἀπαντῆσαι
καὶ τὴν ἀπαίτησιν ποιῆσαι ἵνα δυνηθῶμεν καὶ Διόσκορον πληρῶσαι καὶ τὰ ἐνέχυρα ἡμῶν ἀνακομισώμεθα. μὴ οὖν ὀκνήσῃς συνβαλέσθαι αὐτῷ μετὰ καὶ τῶν συμμάχων ἄχρις
οὗ ἂν τὴν ἀπαίτησιν ποιήσῃ. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι πολλοῖς

⟦Account of Maximus⟧
To my lord brother Ammonios, Sarapammon, greetings.
Our brother Dorotheos has come to you, having been asked by me to collect the outstanding arrears (?) of the fourth indiction. You know that our pledges are out of our hands, and that our father Dioskoros lent to us, and we want to pay him back. So make an effort to assist him, together with the couriers (symmachoi), until he has made the collection for the fourth indiction. For he is also able to know their account, and for this reason I asked him to come and make the collection, so that we may be able both to repay Dioskoros and recover our pledges. So do not hesitate to assist him, together with the couriers, until he has made the collection.
I pray for your health for many years, 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.
