[recto, main text] [… lines lost …] […] taking them. For I have not changed myself; whatever I have ever done has come about through you, Herakleides; nothing has happened without you. Do not let Orsenouphis go unless he makes the report (?) for you. If the farmers come, look after them as if they were ours. For it is […] somehow, having heard that I was shut in, and you did not come to me. There are not 11 artabas at all. Transport charges of Tanis (?). If I do not drag in the farmer, I will demand it from you. I know that you robbed her (?) [recto, margin] […] four artabas of transport charges, since I arranged a valuation. [verso] […] he will receive; they have demanded […] 1 1/2 artabas […]; why did you not go to them?

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.
