To Gaius Turranius,
from Tesees and Herieus, leaders, and the rest of the priests of Soknopaios, the great great god, of the temple which is in the village of Soknopaiou Nesos in the division of Herakleides of the Arsinoite nome. Of the public dues assessed annually on behalf of the temple, and of the other things expended on vestments and on the processions held monthly on behalf of the God Caesar, and incense-offerings and the lighting of the lamps, and the other expenses that arise […] and falling to us for […] of all the festivals
and processions, because the village […] lies […] suitable for us
to be left over, and the shore from which they draw water is distant […] schoinos, and at certain times, the water being brought into the village […] over four schoinoi, and in summer every year, when all the people of our village
withdraw in order to make a living […] it happens that we the priests of necessity remain in the village for the guarding […] of the temple and of the
processions and the other things, there being no other benefit […] to us except the giving from those in charge of […] processions […]
and receipt, from which the public dues […]
[…] and it happens […] and
borrowing from […] the custom from of old
to innovate […] Therefore we ask you, the saviour and protector of all, […]
not to innovate […]

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.
