[recto]
Aurelius Stephanos to Aurelius Chairemon his brother, greeting.
When I was setting out for Alexandria I paid over to the rope-maker Petobastis, in the presence of Herakleios, for the price of yoke-straps (?), 60 drachmas; and for the price of manure at Chysis, in the presence of Kopreus, 40 drachmas; and to Kale, for Kopreus, the 48 drachmas which I had in hand. So do not neglect to spread the manure. For I agreed on 25 artabas for 100 drachmas in the presence of Kopreus; so you will pay the remaining 12 drachmas. Do not neglect to go over there, and to my wife too, until I arrive, and also about the irrigations. I found the Ethiopian and he is well. Greet all our people. I pray for your health.
[verso]
To Aurelius Chairemon from Aurelius Stephanos.

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.
