† ἐδεξάμην τὰ γράμματα τῆς σῆς πατρικῆς διαθέσεως […]…[…]στ[…]
τὰ τριάκοντα ἓξ κνίδια τὰ ὄξινα εὐθὺ καὶ παραχρῆμα ἀπέστειλα καμήλια, καὶ ἐδέξατο
αὐτὰ ὁ οἰνοπράτης παρὰ τρία κνίδια, καὶ ἔλαβα τῶν κνιδίων τριακοντατριῶν κεράτια
εἴκοσι τέσσαρα. καθώς δὲ παρεκάλεσά σε διὰ τὰ πάλλια καὶ τὰ ἀκκουβιτάλια,
θέλησον τὰ μεγάλα μοι χαριζόμενος ταῦτα ἀγοράσαι καὶ ἀποστεῖλαι μοι αὐτά.
ταῦτα δὲ αὐτὰ καὶ Ἀντιόχῳ ἐνετειλάμην, ἵνα συνέλθῃ σοι καὶ προξενίσῃ σοι τὸ
πόθεν ὀφείλεις ἀγοράσαι. καθώς δὲ ἔγραψάς μοι καὶ διὰ Οὐλιάριχ τὸν τίρωνα ὅτι
τινὰ ἀκαθοσίωτα ἔπραξεν εἰς σὲ εἰς τὴν ῥόγαν, ἔγραψα τῷ κυρίῳ Χριστοπυ…αι…ῳ
ἵνα καὶ τὴν ἐκδίκησιν ποιήσῃ καὶ συγκροτήσει σε. εἴ τινος δὲ χρείαν ἔχεις,
μὴ κατοκνήσῃς γράφειν μοι.Translations (1)
† I received the letter of your [fatherly] disposition […]
the 36 knidia of sour wine I sent off at once and immediately by camels, and the wine-seller received them less 3 knidia, and I got for the 33 knidia 24 keratia. As I asked you about the cloaks (pallia) and the couch-covers (accubitalia), be so good as to do me the great favour of buying these and sending them to me. I gave these same instructions to Antiochos too, so that he may meet you and introduce you to where you should buy. As you wrote to me also about Ouliarich the recruit, that he did some impious things against you regarding the pay (rhoga), I wrote to the lord Christop[…] so that he may both exact the punishment and support you. If you need anything, do not hesitate to write to me.

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 36098 (see that record)
