To Aurelius Didymos son of Didymos, praepositus of the 8th pagus,
Aurelius Didymos, nomikarios of the nome, greetings.
Since camel-drivers are being sought for camels being dispatched to the sacred palace in the city of the Memphites, I necessarily write to you, dearest friend, so that you may have the people from the village of Teis supply a camel-driver in their turn (?).
In the consulship of our masters Valerius Licinianus Licinius Augustus and Flavius Valerius Constantinus, son of the emperors, on the 15th day before the Kalends of May.
I, Aurelius Didymos, nomikarios of the nome, have submitted this.

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.
