τῷ δεσπότῃ μου Ἀβιννέῳ Κλημάτιος. πάντας τοὺς φίλους ἀεὶ εὐχόμεθα ἐν μείζοσιν προκόπτοντας πράττειν, ἵνα καὶ ἡμεῖς τῆς πράξεως ἐκείνων ἀπολαύειν δοκῶμεν. ἓν οὖν καὶ τοῦτό μοί ἐστιν διὰ γραμμάτων παρακαλέσαι τὴν σὴν χρηστότητα, κύριε, ἀπαράβλητε, καὶ ἵνα μὴ νομίσῃς διά τι κέρδος τοῦτό με ποιεῖν, γνωρίζω τῇ εὐγενείᾳ σου τὸ πρᾶγμα. Ἰσίων τις πρόμωτος ἐκ τῶν ὑπὸ τὴν σὴν φροντίδα διαφέρει μοι, διαφέρει δὲ καὶ τῷ κυρίῳ μου καὶ ἀδελφῷ Παύλῳ τῷ κορνικουλαρίῳ τῆς παρεμβολῆς. πενθερὸς γὰρ τυγχάνει Τιμοθέου οὐετρανοῦ τοῦ ἐν Παρ…τοντι κεκτημένου, ὄντος ὁμογνησίου ἀδελφοῦ τοῦ προειρημένου Παύλου. ἐπεὶ οὖν οὐδεμία διαφορά ἐστιν μεταξὺ ἐμοῦ καὶ ἐκείνων διὰ τοῦτο παρακαλέσαι σε ἔσπευσα ὅπως συνχωρήσῃς τούτῳ τοῖς πράγμασιν ἡμῶν προσέχειν, δυναμένου σοῦ ὅπου τις ἀνάγκη κατεπείγει τοῦτον μετακαλέσασθαι καὶ πάλιν εὐθέως ποιῆσαι ὡς προεῖπον, τοῖς πράγμασιν ἡμῶν προσέχειν. ἵνα δὲ γνῶμεν ὅτι τῇ ἀξιώσει ἡμῶν ἐπένευσας καταξίωσον δεξάμενός μου τὰ γράμματα, κύριέ μου, ἀντιγράψαι μοι περὶ τούτου. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι πολλοῖς χρόνοις, κύριε. τῷ δεσπότῃ μου Ἀβιννέῳ Κλημάτιος.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To my master Abinnaeus, Klematios. We always pray that all our friends fare well, advancing to greater things, so that we too may seem to enjoy their success. This one thing, then, I have to ask of your goodness by letter, incomparable lord, and so that you may not think that I do this for some gain, I make the matter known to your nobility. A certain Ision, a recruit (promotus) among those under your care, is of concern to me, and he is also of concern to my lord and brother Paulos, the cornicularius of the camp. For he happens to be the father-in-law of Timotheos, veteran, who holds property in Par[…], who is the full brother of the aforesaid Paulos. Since, then, there is no difference between me and them, for this reason I hastened to ask you to allow this man to attend to our affairs, as you are able, whenever some necessity presses, to recall him and then immediately let him do as I said before, attend to our affairs. So that we may know that you have assented to our request, deign, my lord, on receiving my letter, to write back to me about this. I pray for your health for many years, lord. [address] To my master Abinnaeus, Klematios.

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.
