Do not neglect the decision about the security (?),
do not neglect the manure for the other side; give the donkey-driver another (measure of) lentils,
for he asked me many times, saying, 'I will serve in a manner worthy of us' in the farming
of the allotment of Antenor. Do not neglect,
if you find a useful farmer as lessee,
do not neglect the farmer's debt to the temple,
6 (artabas) of wheat and 44 drachmas 3 obols. From Kapiton ask
20 drachmas, you will go to him; for freight ask 10 drachmas,
from the ox-driver ask 16 drachmas,
from the son of Tchanasis 6 drachmas; demand the rents
of the buildings. The rest will be your concern. Farewell. Greet all
your people.
Year […] of Imperator Caesar Diocletian Augustus, Choiak 11.

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.
