[…]ομως μετὰ τοῦ ὑμᾶς πάλιν […] καὶ ἂν διʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἂν
διʼ ἄλλου τὸν κοινὸν δεσπότην τὸν εὐκλεέστατον τοποτηρητήν, ἀλλὰ συνεχῶς ἠθέλησεν· ἐδέξατο γράμματα
καὶ οὐδὲν παρὰ τὸ καλῶς ἔχον ἔγραψεν, ἀλλʼ ὡς ἔγραψέν μοι, ὅτι προσωπικὰς ἐγγύας ἵνα λάβω, ὅπως εὑρεθῇ ἐν καιρῷ τῶν δημοσίων,
καὶ ὅταν εὕρω ἐς τὸ πρόσωπον, εὑρίσκω πάλιν καὶ τὰ δημόσια οὐ μόνον αὐτὸς ἀλλὰ καὶ τὴν ἐλευθέραν αὐτοῦ. δεξάμενος οὖν
τὰ τοιαῦτα γράμματα, προέτεινα αὐτῷ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ ὁσιωτάτου ἐπισκόπου καὶ τοῦ λογιωτάτου ἐκδίκου καὶ τοῦ Κύρου Βασιλείου,
ἵνα δώσῃ προσωπικὰς ἐγγύας καὶ ἀπέλθῃ ὁπουδὰν θέλῃ πρὸς ὃ δὲ ἐκελεύσατέ μοι ἵνα συνέλθω αὐτοῖς
εἴτε περὶ τῶν ὁσπιδίων εἴτε περὶ ἑκάστου πράγματος, οὐκ ἠνέσχετο ποιῆσαί μοι ἀπόκρισιν ἕως τῆς σήμερον.
οἴδατε γὰρ ὅτι εἴ τι ἐκελεύσατέ μοι οὐκ ἀμφιβάλλω· ἀλλὰ καὶ συνεταξάμην ποιῆσαι, καὶ ἐὰν θέλητε πάλιν γράψαι μοι μίαν
ἐπιστολὴν ἐνυπόγραφον ὅτι, ἐὰν ζητηθῶσιν ἐν καιρῷ τῶν δημοσίων, εὑρίσκω αὐτὸν καὶ τὴν ἐλευθέραν αὐτοῦ
ἐνταῦθα, ἕτοιμός εἰμι τοῦτο ποιῆσαι κατὰ χρέος· καὶ πρὸς τὸ τὸν δεσπότην μου μαθεῖν ἐσήμανα γνησίως.
ἀσπάζομαι τοὺς θεοφυλάκτους καὶ μεγαλοπρεπεστάτους ὑμᾶς καὶ τὸν κοινὸν ἀδελφὸν τὸν Κῦριν Ἰωάννην δεσπότην †Translations (1)
[…]
[…] nevertheless with your (?) again […] whether through him or through another, the common master, the most glorious topoteretes, but he wished it continually. He received letters and wrote nothing improper, but as he wrote to me, that I should take personal guarantees, so that he may be found at the time of the public taxes, and when I find him in person, I find again also the public taxes, not only he himself but also his wife. Having therefore received such letters, I proposed to him in the presence of the most holy bishop and the most learned defensor and the lord Basileios that he should give personal guarantees and go away wherever he wishes. As to what you ordered me, that I should meet with them either about the hospices or about each matter, he has not consented to give me an answer until today. For you know that if you ordered me anything I do not hesitate; indeed I also undertook to do it, and if you wish to write to me again a signed letter stating that, if they are sought at the time of the public taxes, I am to find him and his wife here, I am ready to do this as is my duty. And so that my master may know, I have reported faithfully.
I greet you, God-protected and most magnificent, and our common brother, the lord Ioannes, master. †

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 39107 (see that record)
