[v,ctr] παρὰ Ἀπιανοῦ. παντὶ τρόπῳ ἄξονα ἄλλον ἐπιτήδειον εὕρετε ἡμῖν πηχῶν δέκα ἢ καὶ πλείονος χωροῦντα εἰς κτῆμα Πτολεμαίδος Ὅρμου ἐπεὶ ἐξαίφνης κατέαγεν ὁ τῶν ἐκεῖ, ἀλλὰ ἤτω ἐπιτήδειος. ἐὰν μέντοι ἀγοραστὸς ἦν δηλοῖ ἀπὸ τίνος τέκτονος ἠγοράσθη καὶ τὰ μέτρα αὐτοῦ. ἐὰν δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν ἡμετέρων ἦν κοπεὶς παραδηλοῖ εἰδὼς ὅτι ἐὰν ἐν τούτῳ καταγνώσθῃς, σὺ αὐτοῦ αἴτιος γένῃ, ἔπεμψα δὲ Περιγένην τὸν τέκτονα καὶ τὸ κάρνον ἵνα ἐξ αὐτῆς ἀνακομίσθῃ καὶ ἐπεὶ τὰ ὄντα καμήλια ἐσκορπίσαμεν ἐπὶ τὰς μὴ ἐχούσας κτήνη φροντίδας εἰς τὰ ὑπόλοιπα ἔργα αὐτῶν τῆς συνκομιδῆς, δήλωσόν μοι εἰ προέκοψεν ὑμῶν τὰ ἔργα ἵνα δύο τετραονίαι σὺν τῇ ἐν Φιλωτερίδι ἀνέλθωσι εἰς τὴν μεταφορὰν τοῦ κεράμου. ἐχέτωσαν δὲ ἀνερχόμενοι ὅσας ἔχουσι σαργάνας οἰνηγάς. ἀλλὰ ἤδη μοι δήλωσον [v,ms] Ἡρωνείνῳ φροντιστῇ Θεαδελφίας. γ ἔτους Ἐπεὶφ ιβ [r] Ἡρωνείνῳ φροντιστῇ Θεαδελφίας

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[verso, centre] From Appianos. By every means find us another suitable axle of 10 cubits or even longer for the estate of Ptolemais Hormou, since the one there suddenly broke; but let it be suitable. If, however, it was bought, report from which carpenter it was bought and its measurements. If it was cut by our own people, report that too, knowing that if you are found at fault in this, you yourself will be responsible for it. I have sent Perigenes the carpenter and the karnon (?) so that it may be brought back from it (?). And since we have distributed the existing camels among the administrative units that have no draught animals for the remaining work of their harvest, let me know whether your work has progressed, so that two teams of four together with the one in Philoteris may go up for the transport of the pottery jars. When they go up, let them have as many wine baskets as they have. But let me know at once. [verso, margin] To Heroninos, manager of Theadelphia. Year 3, Epeiph 12. [recto] To Heroninos, manager of Theadelphia

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.
