Σερουίλιος Νεμεσίωνι τῷ ἀδελφῷ πλεῖστα χαίρειν
καὶ ὑγιαίνειν.
ἅ μοι ἔγραψας ἐπὶ τῇ ἐπιστολῇ πεποίηκα· δέξαι παρὰ
Ἰουλίου τοῦ γαμβροῦ μου χάρτας πέντε καὶ κοτύλην καὶ
τέταρτον ῥοδίνου Ἰταλικοῦ πρώτου· τῆς κοτύλης
ἔδωκα δραχμὰς η μετὰ χάριτος καὶ δέξαι παρὰ Ἀντωνίου τοῦ
Λεωνίδου στρατιώτου ἐκ σπείρης δακτυλίδιον τεταρτῶν δύο· λιθάριον σιλφίου οὐχ εὗρον πρὸς ὃ ἔγραψάς μοι,
ἠγοράσθη δὲ δραχμῶν β τριωβόλου ἐν ᾧ ἐστιν Ἁρποχράτης· ταῦτα
δέξαι παρὰ Ἀντωνίου καὶ χαλκάνθου ἡμιμναῖον· δέξαι αὐτὰ ἐσφραγισμένα ὥς μοι γράφεις καὶ ὧδε χάλκανθος
οὐχ εὑρίσκεται καὶ σφυρίδιν τραγημάτων καὶ στροβίλους
δέκα τοῖς παιδίοις. ὃ ἐὰν χρῄζῃς γράφε καὶ ποιήσω καὶ
σὺ συνγενοῦ μετὰ Ἰουλίου τοῦ γαμβροῦ μου ἕως λάβητε ἢ τὸν
σῖτον ἢ τὸ ἀργύριον· ἂν λάβῃς τὸν σῖτον πώλησον αὐτὸν
τῆς οὔσης τιμῆς. ἐπισκοποῦ τὰ παιδία καὶ Θερμουτιν

ὧν οὐκ οἶδα· ἀπῆλθον εἰς τὴν Ἡρακλείδου καὶ οὐχ εὗρόν τι

[recto]
Servilius to Nemesion his brother, very many greetings and good health.
What you wrote to me about in your letter I have done. Receive from Julius my son-in-law five sheets of papyrus and a kotyle and a quarter of first-quality Italian rose oil; for the kotyle I paid 8 drachmas, gladly. And receive from Antonius son of Leonidas, soldier of the cohort, a little ring of two quarters. A small stone of silphium such as you wrote to me about I did not find, but one was bought for 2 drachmas 3 obols on which there is a Harpokrates. Receive these from Antonius, and half a mina of copper sulphate; receive them sealed as you write to me. And here copper sulphate is not to be found. And a little basket of sweetmeats and ten pine cones for the children. Whatever you need, write and I will do it. And you, keep company with Julius my son-in-law until you receive either the grain or the money; if you receive the grain, sell it at the current price. Look after the children and Thermouthis and everyone in the house, and you write to me about people whom I do not know. I went off to the (village) of Herakleides and found nothing […]

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.
