To my lords brothers Demetrios and Adelphios, Kanopos, greeting.
Since certain persons have accused you before the Excellency of my lord the governor (hegemon) of having, contrary to the order of affairs, assessed gold on them, His Excellency has ordered that you be present, and for this reason it was necessary to write to you so that you may arrive at Antinoou (Antinoopolis) by nightfall, in accordance with what has been ordered by His Excellency.
I pray for your health for many years, brothers.

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.
