Ἰόλλας Ζήνωνι χαίρειν. ἔδωκά σοι με καὶ κακῶς με ἀκούειν Ζηνοδώρου. ἐπεὶ δὲ ἤκουσα ὅτι ὀργίζει μοι, ἐγενόμην ἐπι τῶν γονάτων αὐτοῦ ἐλαβόμην· οὐ γὰρ εἴα με ει Ζηνόδωρος πρὸς αὐτόν πρὸς Βίαν. νῦν οὖν τὰ προστασσόμενα Ζηνοδωρ τι ἐπηκο Ζηνοδώρωι πέντε ἀνθρώπους Αἰγυπτίους μαστιγοφόρους μαστιγῶν ἐμὲ ὑπερηφάνως ὥστε καὶ τὸ δέρμα μου διακέκοφεν καὶ νῦν κακίον ἔτι ὕβρισται ὑπʼ αὐτοῦ. ἔμελλον δὲ ἀποδρὰς ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ Ζηνό-δωρος ἐκώλυσέ με, ἵνα μὴ τὸ ἔργον, ἔφη, κωλυθῆι, ἀλλὰ ἠξίωσέ με ἐπιστεῖλαί σοι. νῦν οὖν γέγραφα εν, ὡς δ’ ἂν παραγένηι, πάντα ἀναγγελήσεσθαί σοι τὰ γεγενημένα. Βία γάρ ἐστιν ἡ ὑβρίζουσα υτη γὰρ καὶ ἡμῶν καὶ ἐκείνουκακείνου δεσπόζει. εὐτύχει. Ἰόλλας ὑφάντης περὶ Ἀδδαίου καὶ ὡς ἐξυβρίκασιν αὐτόν. ἔτους κθ, Δαισίου κα, ἐν Ἀρσινόηι. Ζήνωνι.

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.
