ἀντίγραφον ἐπιστολῆς. Πολυδεύκης Θέωνι τῶι τιμιωτάτωι χαίρειν. ἐπικαλοῦμαι θεοὺς πάντας· μωυν ἀπολίπῃς καὶ τὸν ἀδελφόν σου Χρατίωνα. καὶ γὰρ ἀφʼ ἧς ὥρας ἀπέστης ἐν δυστρα πέλωι πράγματί εἰμι τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου ς ὡς ἔοικεν - διοιδῶ τὴν ην ντος εὐβούλου. ὡς δʼ ἐπεθεώρη σεν εὐθὺς καὶ κατενόησε τὸ ὑποποι εῖσθαι ἀποναρκήσαντος οὕτως ὥστε ἐφάνη νοσεῖν. καὶ μέχρι τούτου οὐκ ἐ νέβαλόν σοι οἰόμενος ὅτι ἢ προτρέ ψασθαι αὐτὸν ἢ ἀναγκάσαι δυνήσομαι. ἀλλʼ οὐ μέντοι πρὸς οὐδὲν ὑπείκει. ἀποσταφείς οὐδέ σοι λυσιτελές μενος ὑπʼ ἀνθρώπου τοῦτοντουτο τὸν τρόπον διακειμένου παραμεληθῆναι. ἑτέρων σοι διαφερόντων νῦν καὶ τόν δε δέξαι. συμβουλεύω ἑτέρως ἵνα ἡμᾶς σκέψασθαι ας. καὶ τε θαρρημένως σαυτὸν ἐπίδος ἐπὶ τῇ τῶν σῶν φροντίδι.

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.
