† οἶδεν ὁ θεὸς αἰσχύνομαι εἴ σοι γράφω […]ι κατὰ τόπον
μάλιστα παρὰ τῶν ἀνοσίων ἀπὸ Ληναίου […] καὶ πρωτοκωμητῶν.
πάντας γὰρ ἐάσαντες ἀνῆλθαν καὶ ἐκράτησαν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ γραμματηφόρου
ἀμπελουργοῦ. τῆς οὖν λαμπρᾶς σου γνησιότητός ἐστιν ποιῆσαι αὐτοὺς
γνῶναι τὸν σκοπὸν τοῦ περιβλέπτου χαρτουλαρίου καὶ τοῦ ἐνδοξοτάτου ἰλλουστρίου
εἰς ἐμὲ ἵνα ἀρκήσῃ αὐτοῖς ἡ βουλὴ αὐτὴ καὶ ἀναγκάσαι αὐτοὺς κατακέφαλα
πάντα τρόπον ποιῆσαι καὶ ἀπολῦσαι τὸν ἄνθρωπον τοῦ ἀμπελουργοῦ μου.
εἰ δὲ βαρέως ἔχει τὴν αἴτησίν μου δέξασθαι γράψῃ μοι καὶ αἰτῶ τὸν περίβλεπτον
χαρτουλάριον καὶ εἰ χρεία γένηται τὸν ἐνδοξότατον ἰλλούστριον †

[recto]
† God knows I am ashamed if I write to you […] in the locality, especially by the impious men from Lenaiou (?) […] and the village headmen. For leaving everyone else alone, they went up and seized the man of the letter-carrier, the vinedresser. It is therefore for your illustrious genuineness to make them know the intention of the most admired chartularius and of the most glorious illustris towards me, so that this very counsel may suffice for them, and to compel them utterly in every way to act and to release the man of my vinedresser. But if it is burdensome to you to accept my request, write to me, and I shall ask the most admired chartularius and, if need arises, the most glorious illustris. †
[verso]
† To the in all respects most splendid and worthy of honour Senouthios, anystes, † Menas, scholastikos †

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.
