Lettre privée via HGV-meta
Letter from Herminos to his siblings Ammonios and Herais. Private letter from Herminos to his siblings Ammonios and Herais, acknowledging their letter brought by Sarapion on 30 Phaophi. He mentions his troubles, losses and a serious illness from which he recovered, and says he has sent two pairs of sandals (?) sealed with an ibis seal for Sarapion the lawyer. The rest is badly damaged; it dates to the 2nd century AD, probably from the Herakleopolite nome. machine translation

Herminos to Ammonios and Herais, his siblings, very many greetings.
I received your letter through Sarapion, who came on the 30th of Phaophi, and I rejoiced to learn that you are well. I think you have learned what happened to me, in troubles and losses, and also in a great illness; but thanks be to the gods that, even so, we came through. I have sent you, for Sarapion the lawyer, 2 pairs of sandals (?) sealed with a seal engraved with an ibis. I instructed Sarapion about what is with him […] so much […] you […] until […] Sarapion going up to Herakleo(polis) […] having heard that […]

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.
