[r] Κλαύδιος Τερεντιανὸς Κλαυδίῳ Τιβεριανῷ τῷ πατρὶ καὶ κυρίῳ πλεῖστα χαίρειν. πρὸ μὲν πάντων εὔχομαί σε ὑγιαίνειν καὶ εὐτυχεῖν, ὅ μοι εὐκταῖόν ἐστιν. θαυμάζω πῶς ἀναπλεύσας οὐκ ἀντέγραψάς μοι περὶ τῆς σωτηρίας σου, ἀλλὰ ἕως σήμερον ἀγωνιῶ διότι νωθρευόμενος ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ ἐξῆλθες. καλῶς οὖν ποιήσεις ταχύτερόν μοι ἀντιγράψαι περὶ τῆς σωτηρίας σου. ἀναδώσεις Ταβαθεῦτι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν τὴν τοῦ διοικητοῦ πρὸς τὸν στρατηγόν. πᾶν δὲ ποιησάτω ἀναδοῦναι αὐτὴν ταχύτερον τῷ στρατηγῷ ἵνα πρὸς τὰ γραφέντα αὐτῷ καὶ αὐτὸς ταχέως ἀντιγράψῃ. ἔμελλον καὶ ἐγὼ ἀναπλεῦσαι ἀλλὰ οὔπω τὰ μετέωρά μου ἐξέπλεξα ἕως σήμερον. καὶ ἐὰν γνῶς περὶ Νεμεσιανοῦ ποῦ διατρίβει ἀντίγραψόν μοι ἐπεὶ ἀγωνιῶμεν καὶ περὶ αὐτοῦ. ἀσπάζονταί σε οἱ ἐμοί. ἄσπασαι πάντας τοὺς φιλοῦντάς σε κατʼ ὄνομα. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.

[recto] Claudius Terentianus to Claudius Tiberianus, his father and lord, very many greetings. Before all else I pray that you are in good health and prospering, which is my wish. I am surprised that after sailing upstream you did not write back to me about your well-being, but up to today I am anxious because you left me while you were unwell. So please write back to me quickly about your well-being. You will hand over to Tabatheus the letter of the dioiketes to the strategos. Let her do everything to deliver it quickly to the strategos, so that he too may quickly write back in reply to what was written to him. I too was about to sail upstream, but up to today I have not yet settled my outstanding affairs. And if you learn anything about Nemesianus, where he is staying, write back to me, since we are anxious about him too. My people greet you. Greet all who love you, each by name. I pray for your health. [verso] To Claudius Tiberianus, most honoured, from Claudius Terentianus.

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.
