[recto]
Achilleus to Athenodoros his brother, greetings and continual good health, as I wish.
Since in everything you never cease neglecting your friends: for my people bear witness that they have received neither the oil of Doras nor the grain, nor even the […] from a year ago. About these matters I keep quiet; for you [say (?)] […] […] it was written to me that the one who received (it) [was to] carry out […] on account of the arrogance; and very […] to us […] the things done […] from which […] in the […] […] […] has leased out […] receipt (?) […] together with the fourth (part), to restore to Tryphon the brother the rents according to the lease. Hand it over; for it was not reasonable that we be caught out by you, and this in life (?). I did not wish […] so that you may not blame me if […] you wrote to me as partners. So do not [act otherwise]. And take care of yourself so that you stay healthy.
Farewell. Year 15 of Caesar, Pachon 21.
[verso]

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.
