Καλλίστρατος Ἱέρακι τῷ
ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν. σιτάριν εὗρόν σοι εἴκοσι τεσσάρων ὀβολῶν. εἰ θέλις, σοὶ
πέμψω, καὶ ἡμιμάτιον
ἁλὸς τριωβόλου ἠγόρασά σοι ἀπὸ στρατιώτου.
εἰ οὖν θέλις, γράψον
ἵνα σοι πέμψω.

Kallistratos to Hierax his brother, greetings. I have found wheat for you at 24 obols. If you want, I will send it to you; and I bought for you from a soldier a half-measure of salt for 3 obols. So if you want, write so that I may 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.
