The eirenarchs of the Arsinoite nome to the eirenarchs of the Neilopolite nome, their dearest friends, greetings.
A mouse-coloured she-ass, requisitioned into our nome at the village of Philadelphia, was driven off by some people who had themselves been requisitioned from your nome. Take care therefore, brothers, to search out the man and hand over the she-ass to the public servant sent by us and to the owner of the she-ass, obtaining from them a written acknowledgement of receipt.
We pray for your health, dearest friends.
Year 1 of our lords Macrianus and Quietus Augusti, Pauni 20.

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.
