Sarapion son of Apollonios, curator of the praesidium of Raima, to Aelius Serenus, curator of the quarry of Claudianus, greetings.
I released Valerius on Choiak 10 at the 2nd hour, and as of now we have not yet heard anything about Egypt. Please send us the two familiares who are able to draw water. Send them at once, lest the convoy or the patrol suddenly come upon us; and about the chaff, whatever you wish, since […]
I pray for your health.

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.
