private letter via APIS-papyrus
Letter from Diogenes to Dionysios about two pack animals. A private business letter from Diogenes to Dionysios asking him to write to Orsenouphis about two pack animals driven by the donkey driver Pasis, a matter they had discussed in the village of Theogenis. The letter was to be carried by the donkey driver, and it apparently concerns the crown tax (stephanos). It probably dates to 20 May 37 BC in the Arsinoite nome. machine translation

Diogenes to Dionysios, greetings. Please, concerning the matter about which I asked you in Theogenis, regarding the two pack animals of which Pasis is the donkey driver, write to Orsenouphis so that […] for the crown tax (?). Give the little letter to the donkey driver himself so that he may deliver it to Orsenouphis, and not as a side matter. By doing this you will have done me a full favour.
Farewell. Year 15, Pachon 22.

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.
