Letter from Horeion to Keleas about a petition to be taken to Alexandria.

[v] Ὡρείων Κηλέᾳ τῷ ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν. εὐσεβὲς τὸ πρᾶγμα ποιεῖς, ἐὰν ποιήσῃς τὸ βιβλίδιον ἐκεῖνο ὡς ἐγύμνασα αὐτὸ σὺν σοὶ ἐν τῇ πόλει· ἔχω γὰρ Ἡραπίωνα νῦν ἐξερχόμενον διὰ τοῦ Μαρεώτου, ἵνα αὐτὸ πράξῃ ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ γενάμενος· ἄλλον γὰρ σπουδαῖον οὐκ ἔχωμεν μετὰ τοῦτον. ὥστε, ἄδελφε, σπούδασον· καὶ νῦν τάχα ἡ σὴ σπουδὴ καὶ φιλοστοργία κατανικήσῃ τὴν ἐμὴν ἀκαιρίαν καὶ περὶ τῶν βοηθῶν τῶν δεκαπρώτων καὶ Ἀσκληπιάδου οὐκέτι ἐδήλωσάς μοι. καὶ ἐὰν νῦν οὖν, κύριέ μου ἄδελφε, δήλωσόν μοι· οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι συνειδήσει σπουδάζεις ἐμοί· ἐμιάνθην γὰρ παρὰ πᾶσι. ἐρρῶσθαί σʼ εὔχομαι.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[verso] Horeion to Keleas his brother, greetings. You do a pious thing if you make that petition as I worked it out with you in the city; for I have Herapion now setting out by way of the Mareotis, so that he may deal with it when he is in Alexandria; for we have no other diligent man besides him. So, brother, make haste; and now perhaps your diligence and affection will overcome my untimeliness. And about the assistants of the dekaprotoi and Asklepiades you have not informed me any further. So even now, my lord brother, inform me; for I know that you are zealous for me in good conscience; for I have been disgraced before everyone. I pray for your health. [recto]

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.
