Report to Herakleides on tax collection and grain loading at Phenebythis and Psonis. An official letter to Herakleides from a subordinate reporting on the collection of dues, probably of grain, at Phenebythis and Psonis. The tax collectors had failed to press suspect debtors, so the writer detained their secretary, and he also reports cargoes loaded by Doras and Ammonios and donkey transport from Bompae to Psonis. It dates to the 1st century AD and comes from Oxyrhynchus. machine translation

χαίροις κύριέ μου Ἡρακλείδη.
ἐξ ὅτου ἀπέστην τῆς Φενεβύθεως οἱ πράκτορες οὐ προέκοψαν ἐξ ὧν μοι μετέδοσαν ἐν Ψώνει, οὐδένα γὰρ τῶν ὑπόπτων ἀπῄτησαν, προεφασίσαντο δὲ
καὶ τοὺς βοηθοὺς μὴ συναπῃτηκέναι αὐτοῖς. ὁ ἀπὸ τοῦ Προσωπείτου Δωρᾶς Πιβήκιος οτων μα Εϛ ἐνεβάλετο
ἐκ Βομπαὴ σήμερον, ἐποίησα δὲ τοὺς
ὄνους τριφορεῖν ἀπὸ Βομβαὴ εἰς Ψῶνιν.
ὁ ἐπισταλεὶς δὲ εἰς Ψῶνιν
Ἀμμώνιος Πανετβεῦτος ο των ἀρταβ Γιδ ἐνεβάλετο σήμερον ἐν τῷ ἐποικίῳ τοῦ προστάτου
τῷ ἐν Θομπνήει. ἀναγκαίως δὲ
κατέσχον ἕνα τῶν πρακτόρων τῆς
Φενεβύθεως, ἐπειδὴ γραμματεύει αὐτῶν, ἵνα ἐν τῇ Φενεβύθει ὢν ἴδω τὸν λόγον τῶν ὑπόπτων καὶ ἀπαιτῶ.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι. Ἐπεὶφ ε.

Greetings, my lord Herakleides.
Since I left Phenebythis the collectors have made no progress with what they handed over to me at Psonis, for they have demanded payment from none of the suspect persons, and they made the excuse that their assistants had not joined them in collecting. Doras son of Pibekis from the Prosopite (nome), (with a cargo?) of 41(?) ... 5,000(?), ⟦and to⟧ loaded today from Bompae, and I had the donkeys make three trips from Bombae to Psonis.
Ammonios son of Panetbeus, who was sent to Psonis, (with a cargo?) of 3,014(?) artabas, loaded today at the farmstead of the overseer at Thompneei. Of necessity I detained one of the collectors of Phenebythis, since he acts as their secretary, so that while in Phenebythis I may see the account of the suspect persons and demand payment.
I pray for your health. Epeiph 5.

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.
