Private Letter via HGV-meta

Letter to Dionysios about clothing and grapes sent, and business with Dioskoros. A private letter of the 2nd century AD addressed to Dionysios, apparently a wool-merchant, mentioning a garment sent earlier for the writer's daughter Kronous and now a scarlet cloak and six bunches of grapes in a basket. The writer also asks the recipient to find out whether Dioskoros has returned from Rome and to follow up with Ptolemaios about a letter and a pending matter. machine translation

Erieп[…] to Dionysios […] the wool-merchant (?) Deios […] greetings. I pray for you together with all your household and those you love. I sent you, for my sweetest daughter Kronous, through Soterichos the rod-bearer, the one called Sansakis, a small paschidion (garment) and a little letter. And now receive a scarlet pallium […] for the little […]talion, and grapes, in number 6 small bunches, of which 2 are white, 2 are the royal ones called Mareotic, and likewise 2 smoky ones, in a little basket, through Herakleides. Isidoros greets you, and your friend […] no one the […] and you of me […] having persuaded […] and hastening […] the eagerness […] of me. Find out whether Dioskoros has come from Rome, and greet him warmly in my words; and meet Ptolemaios the […] from Dioskoros, (to learn) what he did about my letter which you handed to him, and if he has accomplished the matter which I charged him with, good luck; but if not, while Dioskoros is present, send for Ptolemaios so that [margin] from this Dioskoros […] both absent and present he himself may promise […] he himself.

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.
