[r, centre] [… 1 line lost …] […] provide the things that exist […] we have finished the inspection. We sent you, through the sword-bearer Daphnos, who has […]nion and letters, and through another sword-bearer, Hermon, to the temple of Leto, one letter. So do not neglect anything. As for the dates, we found no old ones either in the Diospolite or in the Ombite nome. But the new ones have come to hand. For I am persuaded that, in so much as Ptolemaios has sent for them, he will be bold enough (?) to bring 2 artabas of loaves and a half-jar of young pigeons and a jar of pickled fish and a single sea-bream; in the jar, in number 40, total 40; in the half-jar, pigeons in number 35, and one sea-bream in a little basket. [r, margin] And take care of yourself so that you stay well. I urge you, then, carefully to […] and towards Ptolemaios. Year 3 of Nero Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, Epeiph 12. [verso, centre] [To …], former strategos of Perithebas [verso, upper margin] […]one

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.
