Μόνιμος Ἡρωνείνῳ τῷ φιλτάτῳ
χαίρειν.
παρέλαβον καὶ σήμερον διὰ Ἀμμωνίου
καὶ Ηουτος ὀνηλατῶν διὰ ὄνων ἑπτὰ
οἴνου σὺν διχώροις ἁπλᾶ μονόχωρα
πεντηκονταέξ γίνεται νϛ ἐκ τῶν ἀπολυθέντων
μοι ὧν λόγον δώσω. ἐὰν δὲ τοιαῦτα ἦν
ὅλα ἃ πέμπεις οὐ χρῄζω αὐτῶν·
καὶ γὰρ πολλὰ ὄξη ἔχει καὶ ὀζαρά.
ἵνα πέμψῃς μοι φάσιν περὶ τούτου
ἵνα τοίνυν ἀναβῶ καὶ παραιτήσομαι
αὐτὰ καὶ τάχα ἄλλα λάβω καλὰ καὶ μὴ
ἐπηρεάσθῃ ὁ ἐκτιναγμός· ἃ γὰρ ἔπεμψάς
μοι ἀπόκειται καὶ οὐδεὶς οὐδὲ ἓν κεράμιον
ἦρκεν.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι φίλτατε

Monimos to his dearest Heroninos, greetings.
I received today too, through Ammonios and Houtos, donkey-drivers, by means of seven donkeys, 56 single monochora of wine together with dichora, total 56, from those released to me, for which I will give account. But if all that you send were like these, I have no need of them; for many of them are vinegar and smell bad. Send me word about this, so that I may come up and refuse them and perhaps take other good ones, and so that the shaking-out (?) may not be harmed. For what you sent me is stored away and no one has taken even one jar.
I pray for your health, dearest.

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.
