Thais to her own Tigrios, greetings.
I have written to Apolinarios to be at Petne in order to do the measuring. Apolinarios will tell you how the deposits and the public dues stand; (put down) whatever name he himself tells you. If you come, set aside 6 artabas of vegetable seed in the sacks, sealing them, so that they may be ready; and if you can, go up so that you may find out about the donkey.
Sarapodora and Sabinus greet you. Do not sell the piglets without me.
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.
