[recto]
Isidora to Asklas her brother, greetings and constant good health, as I pray. I have received what you had written. Our brother Paniskos has written that Noumenios has sent Philon the oikonomos to him in great haste regarding the administration; he has not yet indicated what has come of it. Concerning Areios, Patr[…] himself is writing to him about having wheat entered in the register (?). You and Haramotes, be steadfast in the collection of the price of the lentils and olyra. If anything else comes up, I will let you know. And take care of yourself, so that you stay well.
Farewell. Year 3, Hathyr 6.
[…] (?)
[verso]
To Asklas her brother.

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.
