Lettre administrative de nature fiscale via HGV-meta
Letter ordering release of goods and their shipment to Babylon. An administrative letter from the late 7th century AD, from the Hermopolite region, urging the recipient to release goods (probably tax payments in kind) immediately through a messenger sent by lord Severus. The boatmen are to go straight to Babylon (Old Cairo), since the amir Roas has arrived at Antinoou. machine translation

† τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ κυροῦ Σεουήρου ἰδοὺ ἔπεμψεν ὀφείλοντα ἀπελθεῖν μετὰ τῶν γραμμάτων πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀπολῦσαι τὰ εἴδη
τῆς σῆς ἀδελφότητος. λοιπὸν διὰ τὸν Θεὸν πάντα τρόπον ποιήσῃ καὶ ἀπολύσῃ τὰ εἴδη αὐτῆς εὐθέως διὰ τοῦ παρόντος ἀνθρώπου καὶ τῶν

ἀμιρᾶς […]ῆλθεν εἰς τὴν Ἀντινόου ἀπεχθές. λοιπόν, ὡς εἴρηται, οὐ χρεία τοὺς πιστικοὺς ὅλως ἀπελθεῖν ἐκεῖ, χρεία δὲ παντὶ τρόπῳ
ἀπολῦσαι τὰ εἴδη σήμερον ἐὰν ἔχῃ πάντα· ποιήσῃ καὶ γράψῃ μοι ὅπως εὕρω γράψαι εἰς τὴν Ἀντινόου. †

† [The man of the] lord Severus, see, he has sent him, who is to go with the letters to his brother and release the goods [of your brother]hood. So, for God's sake, do everything and release its goods immediately through the present man and the […] with the letters; and there is no need at all for the boatmen to go to […], but straight to Babylon. For let him know that Roas the most glorious [amir] […] came to Antinoou yesterday. So, as has been said, there is no need at all for the boatmen to go there, but there is need by all means to release the goods today if he has all of them; let him do so and write to me so that I may be able to write to Antinoou. †
