[…] […] of goodwill and good faith and […] to report to me, and at the same time also their present condition, and also the revenue accruing from them, and to report it to me item by item. Know that if anything is proved to have been done as a favour, I myself, when I come to the area, whatever I find to have been done to the defrauding of the treasury, I will order it to be restored in accordance with the laws of the treasury from your own property and from those responsible. I pray for your health.
Year 2, Mecheir 7.

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 31213 (see that record)
