Transcription
Ἀνείκητος καὶ Ἡρακλείδης Σωτηρίχῳ
τῷ πατρὶ χαίρειν οἶσθα ὅτι Νεώφυτος ἄρας στατῆρας β ἀπῆλθεν καὶ
διὰ τοῦτό σοι οὐκ ἐδυνάσθην πέμψαι ἐρωτῶ
οὖν ἐκδέξασθαί με
ἕως κιβάρια ἔλθῃ.
εἰ δὲ ἀπιστεῖς χρεωστούμενος πέμψω σοι.

Aneiketos and Herakleides to Soterichos, their father, greetings. You know that Neophytos took 2 staters and went away, and for this reason I was not able to send (it) to you. So I ask you to wait for me until the rations come. But if you distrust (me) while I am in debt, I will send (it) to you.
Farewell.

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.
