τῷ δεσπότῃ μου Παυσανίᾳ Γενᾶ χαίρειν. προηγου μένως πολλὰ τὴν εὐγέ νειάν σου προσαγορεύω μετὰ τῆς κυρίας μου Ταμοῦ καὶ τῶν υἱῶν εὐχόμενος ὁλο κληρεῖν διὰ παντός· ὡς ἐκέ λευσεν ἡ σὴ εὐγένεια, ἤθελον ἐξαυτῆς ἐλθεῖν πρὸς τὴν σὴν χρηστότητα, ἀλλʼ ἐπειδὴ ἐν τῷ ...... Πμοῦν Βερι βορινοῦ ἡμερῶν μετὰ πλησου τοῦ καρποῦ, διὰ τοῦτο τέως ὑπερ εθέμην, ἵνα μὴ ἔλθω μηδʼ ἀφανίσθῃ τὸ πρᾶγμα. ὡς ἴστε, καιρός ἐστιν τῆς κατασπορᾶς. εἰ ἔδοξεν οὖν τῇ εὐγενείᾳ, πέμψον τὸν ἀδελ φὸν Τιμόθεον, ἵνα ποιήσῃ τὸ πρᾶγμα ἀντʼ ἐμοῦ, καὶ γράψον μοι ὄνον πρὸς Γάϊον ἵνα ἐπειχθῶ, ἐπειδὴ οὐκ ἔχω νι κτῆνος. ἐρρῶ σθαί σε εὔχομαι, δέσπο τά μου, πολλοῖς εὐτυχοῦν τα χρόνοις. τῷ δεσπότῃ μου Παυσανίᾳ Γενᾶ τέκτωντεκτονος

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.
