λς Ζήνωνι χαίρειν. εἰ ἔρρωσαι, καλῶς ἂν ἔχοι· ὑγιαίνω δὲ καὶ αὐτός. μετὰ τό σεσο ἐκπλεῦσαι εἰσήγαγον τὸν θεραπεύοντα τοὺς δορκαδέους, καὶ ἐπισκεψάμενος ἔφη αὐτοὺς ἐκ κρεῶν ὠμῶν ἐξηιρῆσθαι, καὶ διὰ τοῦτο πεπονη κέναι αὐτούς. κηροειδεῖς μὲν οὖν οὐκ ἔφησεν δύνατον εἶναι, μετʼ ἐνιαυτὸνἐνιαυτὸγ γὰρ ἔφη μεταπεσεῖσθαι αὐτούς, ἐ εῖς δὲ αὐτοὺς ἔφησεν ποιήσεινποήσειν, μετὰ πραγματείας δʼ ἔφησεν πολλῆς, ὥστε μὴ ἀξίους ἔφησεν εἶναι τοιαύτης. περὶ δὲ τῆς θεραπείας πειρασόμεθα μὲν χαλκιαίους, εἰ δὲ μή γε, διχαλκιαίους· αὐτὸς μὲνμὲγ γάρ φησιν ἡμιωβελιαῖον θεραπεύειν ἐπὶ αὐλῆι τὸν ἀστράγαλον· ἔξεστιν δʼ ἔφη ἐρωτῆσαι Ἀντίπατρον τὸν Ἐτησίαν, τούτωι γὰρ ἔφησεν τεθεραπευκέναι. σὺ οὖν, ὡς ἂν τάχιστα λάβηις τὰ γράμματα, γράψονγραομ μοι περὶ τούτων τ πρὸ τοῦ τὸντὸγ καιρὸν ἐγδραμεῖν. γίνωσκε δὲ καὶ Πάτρωνα οὐ βουλόμενον ἀναλαμβάνειν Ἀπολλοφάνην, ἀλλὰ ὄχ λον ἡμῖν παρεσχηκότα πολύν. ἐγὼ δὲ προσῆλθον Μέλανι καὶ ἕτοιμος ἦνἐαν γνωστὴρ ἐπιγραφῆναι αὐτός τε καὶ ἄλλος τῶν πολιτῶν. ἐκεῖνος δὲ ὁρῶν ταῦτα ὅτι οὐδʼ ὣς ὑπολειφθήσεται, καὶ ἡμῶνἑμῶν μαχομένων δίχʼ αὐτῶι, ἀνέλα βεν αὐτόν. τὰ δὲ λοιπά σοι γράψω ἀκριβέστερον, νῦννῦμ μὲνμὲγ γάρ μοι οὐκ ἐξεποίησενἐξεπόησεν. πειρῶ δέ μοι ὅτι τάχος γράφειν περὶ πάντων. ἔρρωσο.

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.
