ὑπόμνημα Ζήνωνι παρὰ Πάιτος ταπιδυφάντουταπιδοφάντου. περὶ ὧν ἔδωκά σοι περὶ Νεχθεμβέως τοῦ ταπιδυφάντουταπιδοφάντου, ὅς ἐστιν στασιαστής, ἐφάνη ἐπʼ ἀληθείας ὅτι νενόσφισται ἀπὸ τῶν ἀμφιτάπων. ὁ δὲ σταθεὶς ἐχθὲς ἔτι ὑγρὸς ἦν καὶ ἐγενήθη ἐλάσσω μνῶν ϛ. καὶ ἄλλα δὲ ἔτι τούτων ἀτοπώτερα ἀπείργασται, περὶ ὧν ἐὰν βούλῃ ἐπισκέψασθαι, δίκαιόν ἐστιν τὰς χεῖραςχέρας αὐτοῦ ἀποκόψαι. ἔλασσον γὰρ πεποί ηκεν πήχεως τὸ μῆκος τῶν ἀμφιτάπων καὶ τὸ πλάτος παλαιστῶν δύο , ὥστε μὴ ἁρμόσαι κλίνηικλείνηι· καὶ ὅτε ἤμελλον στῆσαι τοὺς ἀμφιτάπους, ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὸν ζυγὸν καὶ τὸν στήμονα. οὐ δίκαιον οὖν ἐστιν οὕτως εἶναι. πρὸς τῶι οὖν ταῦτα ἀπεργά σασθαι καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς προσδιέφθειρεν ταπιδυφάνταςταπιδοφάντας. εἰ οὖν σοι δοκεῖ καὶ ἐάσῃς με δειγματίσαι πρὸς αὐτούς, τῶν ιδ ἀμφι τάπων δώσω σοι ἀμφιτάπους πλείους δύο . ἐπεὶ δὲ ἔγνω ὅτι κατελέγχεται ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ, ἤμελλεν ἀναχωρῆσαι ἐχθές. συνέλαβον δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ ἀπήχθη εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον. ταῦτα δὲ ἐνεφάνισά σοι ὅπως ἂν μηθείς σε παρακρούηται καὶ ἐγὼ πολυωρίας τύχω. 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.
