Λυκαρίων Ἐμφούιτι τῷ
πατρὶ πλεῖστα χαίρειν.
πρὸ τῶν ὅλων ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι μετὰ
τῶν σῶν πάντων καὶ
διὰ παντός σε εὐτυχεῖν. ἐάν σοι τῇ τύχῃ
δόξῃ, ποίησον τὸν
πατέρα μου ἐλθεῖν
σὺν σοὶ εἰς τὴν ἰδίαν
εἰ δὲ μή, καὶ ἐγὼ αὐτὸς
σὺν τοῖς ἐμοῖς κινδυνεύω καταλεῖψαι
καὶ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς αὐτόν.
γίγνωσκε δὲ σύ,
ὅτι, ἐὰν μὴ τοῦτο
ποιήσῃς καὶ προτρέψῃς αὐτὸν ἐλθεῖν
καὶ συμβῇ τι αὐτῷ,
ἴσθι σεαυτῷ ὡς
σου μέλλοντος λόγον διδόναι τῷ
λαμπροτάτῳ ἡγεμόνι.
διὸ παρακαλῶ οὖν
σέ, φίλτατε,
ἤδη ποτὲ πεῖσαι
αὐτὸν τοῦ ἐλθεῖν.
ἄσπασαι Διονῦσιν
καὶ Μέλανον
καὶ τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ
σου πάντας.

Lykarion to Emphouïtis, his father, many greetings. Before all else, I pray for your health and that you may prosper with all of yours continuously. If it seems appropriate to you by fortune, have my father come with you to his own home. But if not, I myself also, with my own people, will take the risk to leave and come to him. Know, however, that if you do not do this and persuade him to come and something happens to him, be aware that you will have to give an account to the most illustrious governor. Therefore, I implore you, dearest friend, to already persuade him to come. Greet Dionysius and Melanon and all those who dwell in your house. Deliver to Emphouïtis from Lykarion.

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.
