Received Year 3, Hathyr 9, through Ptollion.
…
Isidora to Asklepiades her brother, greeting and constant good health. […] you had written […] I have received […] sandyx-red (scarlet) coverlets […] 10, air-coloured (sky-blue) 3, fig-coloured (?) coverlets 2. Concerning Paniskos our brother, Noumenios has sent Philon his brother to him in great haste regarding the administration (dioikesis). So you and Haramotes, act manfully and bring in the price of lentils and olyra. And for the rest, take care of yourself so that you stay healthy.
Farewell. Year 3, Hathyr 3.
If anything comes up I will let you know, if it seems good to bring (it) until […] I will write. I have received through the agent 2,800 drachmas of silver, and Ptollion is bringing you a statement (?) […]. So if you send money, […] the twentieth tax.
[verso]
To Asklepiades.

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.
