δέδωκα Κάστορι ψωμίων

τὰ αὐτὰ ψώμια ἦρκεν. ἐὰν
εὕρω πάλιν τὸν μέλλοντα

ὧν μοι ἔγραψας διεπεμψάμην αὔθωρον διὰ υἱοῦ
Σεουήρου. ἀσπάζεταί σε ἡ γυνή μου καὶ τὰ παιδία αὐτῆς.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι ἄδελφε,
κόμισον ἁπλᾶ τύρια ε

[recto]
Herakleides to Didymos his brother, very many greetings.
I have given Kastor 5 pairs of loaves and eggs […]. He barely carried even these same loaves. If I find again someone who is going to carry (things), I will not neglect it. Concerning what you wrote to me, I sent it on at once through the son of Severus. My wife and her children greet you.
I pray for your health, brother.
Receive 5 single cheeses.
[verso]
[…] to Didymos from Herakleides

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 28591 (see that record)
