EN scholarly
… letter from my lord today ….. I sent people with three(?) nomismata – so here are nomismata of earnest-money (?)/as down payment. The rest of four [nomismata for four …….]. If not %for four%, I do not want three – I will supply [the remaining one] nomisma. And if (you? he?) wish/wishes (maybe: to sell four for three sol.), I will take the rest of the four nomismata. And I hope he will not have trouble finding your necessity (or: what you need) in the other (i.e., next) two days. For I gave up. I believe that such a need appeared. And the day before yesterday two were sold, each for two and a half nomismata, to Psennouris (or rather: in Psennouris?). With the messenger I sent koriaxoi, nine salted and five fresh. I greet very much the worthy footsteps of my lord.

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.
