[recto]
Tasoucharion to Neilos her brother, many greetings.
Before all else I pray that you are well, and I make obeisance for you before the lord Sarapis. Know that I have given to Ptolemaios, the broker (?), the security documents for the house, to the Demetrion. Please, then, write to me about the house, what you have done,
and the earnest-money of Sarapion, I gave it to him as advocate (?),
and write to me about the registration (census return). If you are making the registration […]
you do well […] and
write to me quickly, so that I may get ready and sail up to you.
And about the grain, do not sell it. I greet my sister
Taonnophris and the daughter of Bellaios.
Didymos and Heliodoros greet you.
Ptolemaios and Tiberinus and Sarapion greet you all. I greet
Sarapion son of Imouthes and his children
and Soma and his children and his wife
and Heron and Tabous and Ischyriaina.
Saturninus greets you all. I pray for your health.
Tasoucharion greets Pe…is
and her children. Helene greets
my mother warmly and my brothers.
Chairemon son of …nos greets you all.
[verso]
Deliver to Neilos from Tasoucharion his sister, (daughter?) of Tasachos.

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.
