[r] παρὰ Ἀλυπίου. καιρός ἐστιν ἤδη τῆς τῶν ἔργων προνοίας. διὸ φροντίσατε ὅσοι μὲν ἀντλητικὰ κτήματα ἔχετε ὀπτηθείσης ἤδη τῆς γῆς καὶ ἐπιδεχομένης σκαφητρὸν πρὸ τοῦ τέμειν ἀπωρυγίσαι πάντα τὰ χρῄζοντα πρὸς τὸ μήδε ἕνα τόπον τῶν χωραφίων ἐνδεῆσαι ἀμπέλου. τὰ δὲ ἐπίπεδα ὁμοίως πρὶν τῆς τομῆς ἀπωρυγίσατε μὴ πρότερον τέμνοντες ἢ μὴ πληρωθῶσιν οἱ ἐνδέοντες τούτων χοιραφίων τῆς ἀμπέλου. ἐὰν δέ τις τούτων μου τῶν γραμμάτων παρακούσῃ οὐ συνοίσει αὐτῷ. συλλέξατε δὲ κλήματα Θηβαικὰ καὶ λευκὰ μὴ ἔλαττον παλαιστῶν κ, εἴ τι δὲ μεῖζον ἢ πλέον οὕτω προνοήσατω. τὰ δὲ τεμνόμενα φυτὰ εὐθέως εἰς ὕδωρ βαλλέσθω ἵνα μὴ ξηρανθῇ εἰδότες ὅτι καθʼ ἑκάστην φροντίδα τῶν φυτευομένων τόπων σημειοῦμαι τὴν ἑκάστου φροντιστοῦ καὶ κτήματος τοποθεσίαν ἵνα εἴ τίς τι ἐμβάλοι παρὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ἐγκέλευσιν ἤ τι ἀντὶ Θηβαικοῦ ἢ λευκοῦ κηπάδιον ἢ ἄλλο τι κλῆμα ζημιώθῃ ζημίαν ἣν μὴ προσδόκα. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι πολλά. σεσημείωμαι Ἡρωνείνῳ φροντιστῇ Θρασώ. ἔτους ιγ Τῦβι [v] παρὰ Ἀλυπίου Ἡρωνείνῳ φροντιστῇ Θρασώ

[recto] From Alypios. It is now the season for attending to the works. Therefore take care, those of you who have irrigated (water-lifted) estates, now that the earth has been baked and is ready for the hoe, before the pruning to dig trenches in all places that need it, so that not a single spot of the fields is lacking in vine. Likewise dig trenches in the flat lands before the pruning, not pruning until the places of these fields that are lacking in vine have been filled up. If anyone disobeys these letters of mine, it will not go well for him. Collect Theban and white cuttings of not less than 20 palms, and if anything bigger or more, let him provide it so. Let the cut plants be put into water at once so that they do not dry out, knowing that for each stewardship of the planted places I am noting down the location of each steward and estate, so that if anyone puts in anything contrary to my order, or instead of a Theban or white cutting a garden vine or some other cutting, he will be penalized with a penalty he does not expect. I pray for your good health much. Signed. To Heroninos, steward of Thraso. Year 13, Tybi. [verso] From Alypios to Heroninos, steward of Thraso.

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.
