From Calpurnius Horion, the most excellent hypomnematographus.
Sarapion, gymnasiarch, has been sent to collect from you, for the supplies (agora) being sent down for the most noble soldiers by order of my lord the prefect, pigs, as many as you may provide according to the quantity assigned to each village. Collect these at once from those who have them and bring them up together with their owners, to be weighed with the proper allowance, and you will receive the price from me upon joint valuation, knowing that if there is any delay in this matter you will be sent to the greatness of him (the prefect) to be punished as having obstructed the military supplies.
To the comarchs and public officials of the villages listed below.

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.
