Ἡρᾶς Ἡρωνείνῳ τῷ φιλτάτῳ χαίρειν.
ὑπομιμνήσκω σε τὴν ἐπήρειαν ἣν ἐπάθαμεν πέρυσι ἕνεκεν
τῶν κτηνῶν καὶ τῶν κοφίνων.
ἐπεὶ οὖν ὁ κύριος ἡμῶν Ἀλύπις
ἐν τῇ πόλει οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπεὶ ἀνηρχόμην πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ ἐποίουν
αὐτὸν γράψαι σοι, ἀλλʼ ἐπεὶ οὖν ἡ ἀνάγκη κατεπείγει ὡς καὶ σὺ οὐδὲ
ἀγνοεῖς, γράφω σοι φίλτατε ὅπως
τῇ ιγ ἀπὸ νυκτὸς ἀποστείλῃς
τὰ κτήνη καὶ τοὺς κοφίνους πρὸς
ἐμὲ ἵνα μὴ ὡς πέρυσι ἐπηρεασθῶμεν καὶ νῦν τὸ αὐτὸ πάθωμεν. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.
ἔτους ιδ Μεσορὴ ιβTranslations (1)
Heras to his dearest Heroninos, greetings.
I remind you of the harassment we suffered last year on account of the pack animals and the baskets. Since our lord Alypios is not in the city (otherwise I would have gone up to him and had him write to you), but since necessity presses, as you yourself are not unaware, I write to you, dearest, so that on the 13th, while it is still night, you send the pack animals and the baskets to me, so that we are not harassed as last year and suffer the same thing now as well. I pray for your health.
Year 14, Mesore 12

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.
