Κρίτων Ζήνωνι χαίρειν. καλῶς ἂν ποιήσαις ἐπιστροφὴν ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ ποιησάμενος, ἵνα μὴ ἔτι τὸντὸμ πλείω χρόνον καταφθείρωμαι. μενος γὰρ μοι εἰς τὴν εἰκάδαεἰκαδι οἰκονομήσειν οὐθὲν πεποίηκε, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐμοῦ ἐν ἀγρῶι καθεύδοντος τήν τε ὗν νυκτὸς ἐκ τῆς αὐλῆς ἐξέβαλλε ἐπίτοκον οὖσαν καὶ τὴν γυναῖκά μου ἐξεκαλεῖτο φάμενος νευροκοπήσειν καὶ ἐμὲ προεκαλεῖτο οἰόμενος εἴσω με καθεύδειν. παραγενομένου δέ μου ἐξ ἀγροῦ ἀπήγγελλέ μοι ἡ γυνὴ τὰ γενόμενα πάντα. ἐγὼ δὲ τούτων οὐθενὶ οὐθὲν ἐδήλωσα ἕως ἂν αἱ ἡμέραι ἅς ᾐτήσατο παρέλθωσιν· τὴν δὲ ὗν οὐκέτι εἰσήγαγον εἰς τὴν αὐλήν. ἐνεύχομαι οὖν σου κατὰ τῶν ἀδελφῶνἈδελφῶν καὶ τοῦ βασιλέως οἰκονομῆσαι τὰ περὶ ἐμέ, ἵνα μηκέτι ταῦτα γίνηται μηδʼ ἔτι τὸντὸμ πλείω χρόνον παροινῶμαι. ὀμνύω δέ σοι τὸντὸμ βασιλέως δαίμονα καὶ Βερενίκην βασίλισσαν, ἵνα μὴ δοκῇς με ἐφʼ ὕβρει με ἐξορκίζειν αὐτόν, μὴ εἰληφέναι μηδεμίανμηδὲ μίαν πλίνθον παρʼ αὐτοῦ. σὺ οὖν πολυώρησον ὑπὲρ τούτων. ἔρρωσο. 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.
