now that the time has come in which care must be taken for the indispensable grain shipment of the fortunate […] second indiction, avoiding all blame for negligence, make haste with all fear to send it off to the great city of the Alexandrians, loading the required quantity onto small boats straightaway and at once, according to the schedule set out below, at the risk of the office staff; for it is for this reason that (this order) has been sent from the office.
I have read. I have read.

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.
