Beantwortung einer Anfrage via HGV-meta
Letter replying to an enquiry, with instructions about selling tunics. A sixth-century letter from a man, possibly a deacon, to a respected 'father' replying to an enquiry: he has just arrived in the village, has not yet dealt with the matter, and will come to the city after the grain sowing, being busy because of a failed Nile flood this year. He also asks the recipient to sell two tunics for him or return them with another garment. machine translation

τῷ δεσπότῃ μου ὡς ἀληθῶς τιμιωτάτῳ
πατρί μου[…]…μων διάκων[…]
ἐδεξάμην τὰ περὶ τῆς σῆς ὑγιείας
καὶ ἀναγνοὺς πάνυ χαρᾶς ἐπλήσθην.
περὶ δὲ τοῦ πράγματος οὗ μοι ἀντέγραψας,
ὡς οἶδεν ὁ θεός, κατὰ τὴν παροῦσαν
ἡμέραν ἐπελήλυθα εἰς τὴν κώμην·
οὔπω τέως σκέψις ἐγένετο παρʼ ἡμῶν περὶ τούτου, διότι οὔπω συνέτυχον τοῖς ἐμοὶ διαφέρουσιν,
ἀλλὰ θεοῦ ἐπιτρέποντος
μετὰ τὴν κατασπορὰν τοῦ σίτου ἐπικαταλαμβάνω τὴν πόλιν καὶ
οὕτως μεθʼ ὑμῶν τρακτεύομεν τὸ ὀφειλόμενον γενέσθαι·
οἶδας γάρ, ὅτι τὰ νῦν ἀσχολοῦμεν ἕνεκεν τοῦ ἐπικειμένου ἡμῖν ἀβροχικοῦ ἐφέτος πρόσειπε παρʼ ἐμοῦ
τὸν εὔφρονά σου οἶκον.
περὶ δὲ τῶν δύο κολοβίων ὧν
δέδωκά σοι πρὸς διάπρασιν,
ἐὰν δύνῃ, πᾶν ποίησον, πώλησον·
ἐὰν δὲ μὴ χωρηθῶσιν, ἀπόστειλον αὐτὰ εἰς τὴν κώμην καὶ

[recto]
To my master, truly most honoured father, […] deacon (?) […]
I received the news about your health and on reading it I was filled with great joy. Concerning the matter about which you wrote back to me, as God knows, on this very day I have come to the village. As yet no consideration has been given by us to this, because I have not yet met with those who concern me, but, God permitting, after the sowing of the grain I shall come to the city, and so we shall deal with you about what ought to be done. For you know that at present we are busy on account of the lack of flooding (abrochia) that has befallen us this year. Greet on my behalf your kindly household.
Concerning the two kolobia (sleeveless tunics) which I gave you for sale, if you can, do everything, sell them; but if they do not find a buyer, send them to the village and add also the sticharion (tunic), but the […]
I wish you good health […] I greet all the brothers.
[verso]
To my master […] in all things most admirable patrikios (?).

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 36107 (see that record)
