To Hermophilos, royal scribe of the Herakleides division of the Arsinoite nome,
from Ischyrion son of Deios, son of Hermas, his mother being Asklas, from the village of Ptolemais Hormou.
My father Deios, son of Hermas, son of Eleis, his mother being Merous, registered for poll tax in the aforementioned village, died in the month of Phaophi of the present 25th year of Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus. Therefore I ask that his name be entered in the list of the deceased, as in similar cases.
To the village scribe of Ptolemais Hormou. Investigate. If the above-mentioned has truly died, carry out what is consistent with similar cases, knowing that you will be held accountable if anything is done improperly. I, Hermophilos, royal scribe, have signed, through Horos, assistant.
Year 25 of Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Augustus Pius, Phaophi 30.

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.
