παρὰ Ἀπιανοῦ.
καὶ ἂν τὸ βραχύτατόν τις ἀναπέμπῃ ὀφείλει μετὰ γραμμάτων ἀναπέμπειν καὶ δηλοῦν
τί ἀνεπέμφθη διὰ τίνος. ἃ δὲ
ἀνεπέμψας οὐκ ἦν τοσαῦτα ὥστε καὶ ἄνθρωπον καὶ ὄνον καταργηθῆναι διὰ τέσσαρα κερτύλλια συκαρίων σαπρῶν. ἐνεφαίνετο δὲ ἐκ τῆς τῶν σύκων κακίας καὶ ξηρότητος καὶ δίψης ἡ τοῦ χωρίου
ἀμέλεια. ἀλλὰ περὶ μὲν τούτων θήσομέν ποτε λογάριον
πρὸς αὐτούς. καὶ ὁ τῆς Εὐημερίας δὲ ἄλλον ἀνεπέμψε μετʼ ὀλίγων. καὶ δύνασθε ἀμφότεροι διὰ τοῦ ἑνὸς ἀναπέμψαι μηνύσαντες εἷς τῷ ἑνὶ .

From Appianus.
Even if someone sends up the smallest thing, he ought to send it with a letter and make clear what was sent up and by whom. What you sent up was not so much that both a man and a donkey should be kept idle for four little baskets of rotten figs. And from the poor quality, dryness and thirst of the figs the neglect of the estate was evident. But about these matters we shall some day settle an account with them. And the man of Euhemeria also sent up another man with a few things. You could both have sent things up by one man, each informing the other.
To Heroninus, manager.
Year 3, Epeiph 24

To Heroninus, manager.

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.
