Διογένης Λεονταρίῳ τῇ
τιμιωτάτῃ ἀδελφῇ χαίρειν.
οὐ πεπαύσομαι γράφων περὶ
ἧς πεποίηται καὶ ποιεῖταί μοι
ἐπιβουλῆς ὁ Ἀντίνοος, ὡς καὶ ἐξείσχυται
τὸν Σιβίτυλλον πεῖσαι ἀποστῆναί μου ἀλόγως καὶ ἐνκαταλιπεῖν με ἐπὶ ξένης,
εἰδέτω οὖν ὁ Σιβίτυλλος, ὅτι
ἀπαιτεῖται οὐ μόνον ἃ ἐσύλησέν μου εἴδη ἀποδιδράσκων,
ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐκπέμπεται·
τοιγαροῦν τοιγαροῦν ὅρα μὴ ὑποδέξῃ
αὐτὸν εὶς τὴν οἰκίαν, μὴ
καὶ σὲ συλήσῃ μείζω· μὴ ποιήσῃς αὐτὸν εἶναι ἐν τῇ θύρᾳ ἡμῶν , ἀλλὰ μετάπεμψαι τοὺς ὑποδεξαμένους αὐτὸν καὶ ποίησον τούτους

ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι διὰ

καὶ ἐὰν πάντα οὗτος ποιῇ· οὔκ ἐστιν φροντὶς αὐτοῦ· οἱ γὰρ θεοὶ συντηροῦσι με καὶ συντηροῦσι, ἔστʼ ἄν πρὸς ὑμᾶς γένωμαι·

Λεονταρίῳ παρὰ Διογένους ἀνδρός.Translations (1)
Diogenes to Leontarion, his most honoured sister, greetings.
I shall not stop writing about the plot that Antinoos has made and is making against me, since he has even prevailed upon Sibityllos to desert me without reason and leave me abroad. So let Sibityllos know that not only are the goods he stole from me when running away being demanded back, but he is also being sent off. Therefore, therefore, see that you do not receive him into the house, lest he rob you too of greater things. Do not let him be at our door, but send for those who have received him and make them throw him out of the house […] it is advantageous […] my petition (?) against him in the […] two without him […] his own […] against Ammonios […] through another […] of Demetrios […] men […] of the garland-weaver […] of the bank of Zoilos my brother; therefore I write to you so that you may know and search for them, and having obtained them, carry out each of the things written in them and inform me quickly. Antinoos, however, does not get the better of me at all, but wishes, as I learn, to desert without reason.
I pray for your health throughout life. Farewell.
[margin]
Even if he does everything, there is no worry about him; for the gods protect me and will protect me until I come to you. Let our children receive care. Greet our mother.
[back]
To Leontarion from Diogenes, her husband.

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 31107 (see that record)
