Transcription
χαῖρε κύριέ μου ἀσύγκριτε ἄδελφε Παῦλε,
Ἀρριανός σε προσαγορεύω.
εὐχόμενός σοι τὰ ἐν βίῳ κάλλιστα ὑπαρχθῆναι.
τοῦ μηνιείου ἐρχομένου πρὸς ὑμᾶς ἀναγκαῖον ἡγησάμην προσαγορεῦσαί σε ἅμα τῷ κυρίῳ
πατρὶ ἡμῶν· καὶ νῦν ὑπομιμνήσκω ὑμᾶς
περὶ τῆς γυμνασιαρχίας, ἵνα ἐνθάδε μὴ ἐνοχλώμεθα. Ἡρακλείδης γὰρ οὐ δύναται λαλῆσαι·
[…] αὐτὸς γὰρ ὠνομάσθη εἰς τὴν βουλήν.
ἀφορμὴν οὖν εὑρὲ τὰς […]ας β ἀρούρας
ὠνήσασθαι. ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ γαρέλαιόν μοι πέμψον οἷον ἐάν δοκιμάσῃς καλὸν εἶναι.
ἡ δὲ κυρία τεκοῦσα ἡμῶν ὁλοκληροῦσα
προσαγορεύει ὑμᾶς ἅμα ταῖς συμβίοις
ὑμῶν καὶ τοῖς γλυκυτάτοις τέκνοις
μετὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶν καὶ πάντων τῶν ἡμετέρων προσαγόρευε τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἡμῶν
[…]γένην καὶ τὸν Ξύδην. σὲ οἱ ἡμέ-τεροι πάντες προσαγορεύουσιν. ἐρρῶσθαί
σε εὔχομαι ὁλοκληροῦντα ἐν κυρίῳ.Translations (1)
Greetings, my lord, incomparable brother Paulos,
I, Arrianos, greet you,
praying that the finest things in life may be granted to you.
Since the monthly messenger (?) is coming to you, I thought it necessary to greet you together with our lord father; and now I remind you about the gymnasiarchy, so that we may not be troubled here. For Herakleides is unable to speak, [...] for he himself was nominated to the council.
So find an opportunity to buy the [...] 2 arouras. And also send me the fish-sauce oil, whatever kind you judge to be good.
Our lady mother, being in good health, greets you together with your wives and your sweetest children, [with] the brothers and all our people. Greet our brother [...]genes and Xydes. All our people greet you.
I pray that you are well and in good health in the 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.
