κυρίῳ μου πατρὶ Σαραπίωνι
Γερόντιος υἱὸς χαίρειν.
ἀπέστειλά σοι διὰ Σερήνου
τοῦ δημοσίου εἰς λόγον ναύλου
πρόσφορα τάλαντα σμ.
περὶ δὲ τῆς ἐκβολῆς τοῦ σίτου
τῆς Τετρακωμίας ἐποίησα Ἑρμίαν καὶ Παῦλον εἰς τοῦτο καθῖσαι
καὶ τὴν λοιπάδα τοῦ ναύλου ἀπαιτῆσαι καὶ τοῦ ἐξαργυρισμοῦ καὶ ἀποστεῖλαί σοι ἐπὶ τῆς πόλεως.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι κύριέ
μου πάτερ πολλοῖς χρόνοις.Translations (1)

I have sent you through Serenos the public servant, on account of the freight charge, 240 talents in suitable money (?).
Concerning the unloading of the grain of the Tetrakomia, I had Hermias and Paulos appointed to this, and to demand the remainder of the freight charge and of the conversion into money, and to send it to you in the city.
I pray that you are well, my lord father, for many years.

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.
