δεχόμενος οὖν τὰ παρόντα γράμματα θέλησον μετὰ πάσης συντομίας καταλαβεῖν τὰ πρὸς ἡμᾶς — ἐνεγκὼν μετὰ σεαυτοῦ οὕσπερ ὠνοματίσαμένὀνοματίσαμέν σοι ἄνδρας τῆς διοικήσεώς σου ἐν τοῖς προτέροιςπρωτέροις ἡμῶν γράμμασιν — οὐ μὴν ἀλλʼ καὶ κατάγραφον κατὰ χωρίον τοῦ ὄντος ἀνδρισμοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ καὶ εἴ τί ἐστι διʼ αὐτῶν διάγραφον — καὶ εἴ τι ὑπάρχει ἑκάστῳ ἐν γῃδίοις ἀπό τε ἐν ἀμπέλῳ καὶ ἐν σπορίμῳ γῆς — καὶ εἴ τι ἐχορήγησεν διʼ ἐνταγίων καὶ ἄνευ ἐνταγίων καὶ κατάγραφον τῆς ὀνομασίας καὶ πατρωνυμίαςπατρονυμίας τῶν ὄντων φυγάδων ἐν αὐτῷ ἁπλῶς εἰπεῖν φανεροποιῶν ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ καταγράφῳ σου πᾶσαν εἴδησιν μὴ διδοὺςδιδων κατὰ σεαυτοῦ παντοῖον σκάνδαλον περὶ τούτου. — ἐπετρέψαμεν δὲ τῷ παρόντι ἀποστόλῳ μὴ ἀναμεῖναι πρὸς σὲ εἰ μὴ δύο τρεῖς ἡμέρας ἄχρις οὗ καταλάβῃς τὰ πρὸς ἡμᾶς παραγγέλλων τοῖς κατερχομένοις σὺν σοὶ ἀφʼἀπʼ ἑκάστου χωρίου τῆς διοικήσεώς σου ἐνέγκαι μεθʼ ἑαυτῶνεαυτου τὴν λογοποιίανλογοποιείαν τοῦ χωρίου αὐτῶν — ὅπως ἡμῶν ζητούντων παρʼ αὐτῶν περὶ κεφαλαίου τινὸς εὑρεθῶσιν ἐν ἑτοίμῳ ἔχοντες πᾶσαν εἴδησιν καὶ φανέρωσιν. — ἔσῃ οὖν ἐπιστάμενος ὡς οὐ μὴ δεξόμεθα ἐκ σοῦ παντοῖον λόγον εἰς ἀφορμήν. — λοιπὸν μὴ δεηθῇς ἑτέρων γραμμάτων ἡμῶν περὶ τούτου μετὰ τὰ παρόντα γράμματα καὶ καταλάβῃ σε ἀνταπόδοσις ἀπολοῦσα τὴν ψυχὴν καὶ ὑπόστασίν σου. ἐγράφη μηνὸς Φαὼφ ιβ ἰνδικτίονος ὀγδόηςTranslations (1)
… On receiving the present letter, therefore, come down to us with all speed, bringing with you the men from your district whom we named to you in our former letters, and in addition a register of places giving the male population in each, with the poll-tax to which they are liable and the amount of each man's holding in land, both vine-land and arable land, and the services he has rendered with instructions and without, and a register of the names and patronymics of the fugitives in each place; in short make clear to us in your register all that you know, not giving any cause of complaint against yourself whatever in this matter. And we have instructed the present messenger not to remain with you more than two (or?) three days, until you come down to us, telling those who come down with you from each place in your district to bring with them the accounts of their place, in order that if we seek information from them on any subject they may be found prepared to tell us all they know and can communicate. You will be aware that we shall not accept from you any ground of excuse whatsoever; therefore do not require another letter from us about this after the present one, lest retribution overtake you which shall destroy your life and property. Written the 12th Phaophi, 8th indiction.

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.
