Θεογίτων Ἀπολλωνίω
χαίρειν.
πάλιν […] γράφειν σοι …
[…]μαι φ[…]τῶν ἔργων σου
…ισ…ς[…] μὴ εἰθισμένου μου
τοῖς γράμμασι, καὶ νῦν οὖν
πάλιν ἐπειράθην γράφειν σοι
πρὶν ἤ τι περαιότερον ἐγχειρήσω ποιεῖν, ἐάνπερ μὴ εὐγνωμονῇς τὰ πρὸς τὴν μητέρα. πάνυ γάρ μοι δοκεῖς
ἄφρων τις εἶναι τοῦ ὄντος μηνὸς μὴ φυλάσσειν σου τὴν δεξιάν, εἴπερ εἰ καὶ γράμματα
μὴ ἦν ἀλλὰ τοῖς θεοῖς ἐστιν
χάρις ὅτι οὐδεμία ἐστὶν πρόλημψις ἡμῖν γεγενημένη
ἵνα δόξῃς ἄνευ νομίμων
ἡμᾶς ἀπωθεῖσθαι. καὶ νῦν
οὖν εἰ μὴ πίθῃ καὶ τὴν χορηγίαν τῇ μητρὶ εὐγνωμόνως
ἀποδίδοις τὸ ἀκόλουθον τούτων ἔσται καὶ μετάμελόν
σοι πάλιν εἰσοίσει ἡ πλεονεξία σου. μὴ γὰρ ὑπολάβῃς
τὴν μητέρα σου περὶ τούτων
ἠρεμεῖν. ἔρρωσο.Translations (1)
Theogiton to Apollonios, greeting.
Again […] to write to you […] […] your doings […] since I am not used to letters; and so now again I have tried to write to you before I undertake to do anything more drastic, if you do not behave fairly in your dealings with your mother. For you seem to me to be quite senseless not to keep your pledge for the current month, even if there were no written agreement; but thanks be to the gods that no prior claim has been made against us, so that you might appear to be rejecting us without legal grounds. And so now, if you do not obey and pay the allowance to your mother fairly, the consequence of this will follow, and your greed will again bring you regret. For do not suppose that your mother will keep quiet about these matters.
Farewell.

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.
