† ὁ ἀποδιδοὺς τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ θεοφυλάκτῳ καὶ μεγαλοπρεπεστάτῃ δεσποτείᾳ τὴν παροῦσάν μου ἐπιστολὴν ᾔτησε[…]
ὑμᾶς χάριν τοῦ ἑταίρου αὐτοῦ τοῦτʼ ἔστιν Θεοδόσιον τοῦ ναύτου, καὶ ἐὰν ᾖ δυνατὸν παρακαλῶ τὸν δεσπότηνμου κελεῦσαι[…]
γὰρ οὐκ ἠθέλησα γράψαι τῷ δεσπότῃ μου, ἐπειδὴ ἦλθεν καὶ ἔβαλεν ἔξοδον ὡς διά τινος […]
εἰς τὴν Λάτων ἐκρατήσατε τὸν ναύτην αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἄπιστόν μοι ἐφάνη, καὶ οὔτε ἠθέλησα δοῦναι […]
ὅτι τίποτε τῶν τοιούτων οὐκ ἀνέχει ὁ δεσπότης μου ποιῆσαι· ἐλθόντος οὖν τοῦ κοινοῦ
ἀδελφοῦ ὁ Κῦρος[…]
πολυπραγμονήσας ἔμαθον τὴν αἰτίαν, καὶ ἐκ τούτου οὐκ ἠθέλησα γράψαι αὐτῷ ἀπολῦσαι[…]
ἦλθεν παρακαλῶν ἵνα γράψω τῷ δεσπότῃ μου. λοιπὸν, ὡς προεῖπον, παρακαλῶ τὸν δεσπότην μου κελεῦσαι[…]
καὶ περὶ τοῦ διαγράφου τοῦ ἀνθρώπου αὐτοῦ, ὃ δὲ κελεύετε γράψατέ μοι […]
εἰ μὴ ὅτι ὁ Κῦρος Χριστόφορος εἰσέταξεν αὐτὸν εἰς τὴν καταγραφὴν τοῦ διαγάφου[…]

[recto]
† The man delivering my present letter to your God-protected and most magnificent lordship asked [...] you on behalf of his companion, that is Theodosios the sailor, and if it is possible I beg my lord [to order] [...] for I did not want to write to my lord, since he came and put out an expense (?) as through someone [...] at Latopolis you seized his sailor; and it seemed incredible to me, and I neither wanted to give [...] that my lord does not tolerate doing anything of the kind. So when our common brother the lord [...] came, having made inquiries I learned the cause, and for this reason I did not want to write to him to release [...] he came begging that I write to my lord. So, as I said before, I beg my lord to order [...] and concerning the diagraphon of his man, what you order, write to me [...] unless the lord Christophoros enrolled him in the register of the diagraphon [...] into the diagraphon of Latopolis, unless the lord Christophoros himself [...]
[verso]
[...] him from the diagraphon [...] of my lord. I greet you, God-protected ones, through this letter. †
(Address) To the lord Papas, most great comes and pagarch, † Platon †
(Docket) Concerning Philotheos son of Sampson, sailor

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 39100 (see that record)
