Fragment of an order addressed to Apollonios, an estate manager (cheiristes), instructing him to issue something to Paesios, the sower of Nesos, for his expenses. It dates to the early 4th century AD and comes from Pesla in the Hermopolite nome or from Hermopolis.
A cheiristes was an agent or manager handling goods or funds, often on a private estate; a kataspores was responsible for sowing. The phrase about expenses is an editorial restoration.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below. It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
