Ζήνωνι χαίρειν Ἑρμίας. γίνωσκε ὅτι ἥκει ὁ ἀδελφὸς ἐπʼ ἐμέ, καλῶν με εἰς ΜέμφινΜένφιν· ὁ γὰρ Ἀγαθοκλῆς ἐνἐμ ΜέμφειΜένφει ἐστὶν καὶ ἀνα πλεῖ εἰς τὴν Θηβαίδα. σὺ οὖν, εἴ σοι δοκεῖ, περὶ ὧν σοι πρότερον συνελά λησα, ὡς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου χρείαν ἔχοντος κερμα τίου, σὺ οὖν περί μου γράψον πρὸς αὐτόν, ὅπως ἂν φιλανθρωπήσηι τὰ πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ τὸ τάχος ἀποστείληι με. ἐὰν οὖν εἰδῶ τὰ περὶ ἐμὲ ἐν τίνι εἰμί, ἵνα καὶ τὴντὴμ μητέρα καὶ τὸ ἀδέλφιον μετα πέμψωμαι ὧδε. εὐτύχει.

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.
