Herennius to Satornilus his dearest, greetings. I certainly received your ostrakon. Concerning the cats, Ourses is taking care of them in accordance with what 1 also wrote you on another occasion. And now look again, what do you think about the roses for 200 dr. and 180 dr., inquiring also the transport costs. If your she-donkey has got better, come by night, so that you may go down to get the transport money. Do not be concerned about your wood. If you find a good tree-trunk [by the finger?], I'll take it. I sold... not having anywhere to put it (?)... Don't worry ...

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.
