Description

This side of the papyrus contains the remains of two private letters, each of which occupied a column of writing. In Col. i the writer complains with some bitterness that he is being threatened with eviction from a house which he holds in lease from his correspondent, and this despite the perfect harmony that has characterized their relations to the present time. The letter in Col. ii is very fragmentary, but it appears to repeat in some measure at least the protest voiced in Col. i concerning the eviction from the house mentioned therein.

About this record's data

From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
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 — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
