[r] Ἰσχυρίων Ἀντωνίνωι τῶι τιμιωτάτωι χαίρειν. διεπεμψάμην σοι διὰ Ἡρακλείδου, τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Χαιρήμονος τοῦ ἐν Βακχιάδι πρότερον γραμματέως, τοῦ Μοιθυμείτου ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴνου Κνίδια τρία · διάπεμψαι οὖν εἰς τὴν Μοιθῦμιν τὸν δυνάμενον παρʼ αὐτοῦ λαβεῖν· οὐ γὰρ ἐδυνήθη Δαμέας λαβεῖν τῷ μὴ ἔχειν ὄνον. καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ καὶ τὰ γάρια, ἐὰν ὄνον εὕρω, διαπέμψομαι διὰ τοῦ ὀνολάτου ἀμερίμνως. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι, φίλτατε, εὐτυχοῦντα πανοικεί.

[recto] Ischyrion to the most honoured Antoninus, greetings. I have sent you through Herakleides, the brother of Chairemon, formerly secretary in Bakchias, of Moithymis (?), three Knidian jars of the wine. So send to Moithymis someone who can receive them from him; for Dameas was not able to receive them because he did not have a donkey. And the rest and the jars of fish sauce, if I find a donkey, I will send without worry through the donkey-driver. I pray for your health, dearest, and prosperity with all your household. [verso] To Antoninus from Ischyrion.

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.
