Official Letter via HGV-meta
Request to the strategos about obstruction of public seed supply at sowing time. A petition-like official letter from Athenodoros, agent of Asklepiades son of Dionysios, to a strategos in the Herakleopolite nome. He complains that sowing time is passing while someone connected with Athenion, an imperial slave or estate, obstructs the supply of public seed, and asks that orders be sent so that dues are collected and receipts issued; a list of seed quantities by toparchy follows. machine translation

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.
