Αὐρήλιος Ἡρωνῖνος Αὐρηλίῳ Ἡρακλᾷ
τῷ τιμιωτάτῳ χαίρειν.
εἰδώς σου τὴν προαίρεσιν διὰ τοῦτό
σοι ἔγραψα. μαθεῖν δέ σε θέλω, ὅτι
οὐκ ὀνηλάτης αὐτοὺς ἀνήνεγκε,
ἀλλὰ ὄνον αὑτοῖς παρέλαβον,
ὃν καὶ σὺ δύνασαι μαθεῖν τίνος ἐστὶν
ὁ ὄνος. διὰ τοῦτό σοι ἔγραψα, ὅτι
ματαίως ἐπεβάλατο ὁ Πεσουᾶς.
ἐὰν οὖν δύνῃ εἰς τὸ ἐμοὶ κεχαρισμένον πεῖσαι τὸν Πεσουᾶν ἀποστῆναι
αὐτοῦ, καλῶς ποιεῖς μιμνῃσκόμενός μου, ἵνα μὴ κόπους παρέχωμεν τῷ στρατηγῷ. εἰ δὲ οὐ θέλει,
εἶπον αὐτῷ τῷ Πεσουᾶτι, ὅτι μή
με μέμψῃ· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐγὼ μέλλω σιωπᾶν πρὸς αὐτὸν, καὶ ἂν μέχρι τοῦ
ἐπιστρατήγου τὰς ἀποχὰς Διοσκόρου τοῦ ἑκατοντάρχου ἀνήνεικον.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι

[recto]
Aurelius Heroninos to Aurelius Heraklas, most honoured, greetings.
Knowing your goodwill, for this reason I have written to you. I want you to know that it was not a donkey-driver who carried them up, but they took a donkey for themselves, and you too can find out whose the donkey is. For this reason I have written to you, because Pesouas has made his claim in vain. If therefore you can, as a favour to me, persuade Pesouas to drop it, you will do well, remembering me, so that we do not cause trouble for the strategos. But if he is not willing, tell Pesouas himself not to blame me; for I am not going to keep silent toward him, even if I had to carry the receipts of Dioskoros the centurion all the way to the epistrategos.
I pray for your health.
[verso]
Deliver to Heraklas.

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.
