Valerius Palmas to Valerius Longus, his brother, very many greetings.
I want you to know that Diokles has taken from me my money, 17 staters, and the whetstone. If you can, seize Furius' whetstone intact until I come and settle the matter with him. For no one came in except him. And I, getting up early, searched and did not find them. No one gave me leave so that I might have the opportunity. Greet your sister. Maximus greets you.

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.
