Γέμεινος Κρονίωνι τῷ τιμιωτάτῳ χαίρειν.
καλῶς ποιήσεις, λαβὼν τὴν κλεῖδα τοῦ τόπου μου παρὰ τῆς θυρουροῦ καὶ ἀνελθὼν εἰς τὸν τόπον μου, δοὺς τὸν πόκον τοῖς
ἐμπόροις· κεῖται μετʼ ἄλλων
τριῶν, δέξαι δὲ Ἡρακλῆν μετʼ ἐσοῦ ἵνα αὐτὸν ἐπιγνῷ, ἵνα
συνάλλαγμα γένηται. καὶ
νυκτὸς μετʼ αὔριον ὄνον πέμψον ἵνα κατέλθω. ὅρα μὴ ἀμελήσῃς· ὁ πόνος γὰρ αὐτῶν ἐπὶ
πάντων ἄλλων κεῖται μικότερος. πρὸ πάντων ἔρρωσο.Translations (1)
Gemellus (Geminos) to the most honoured Kronion, greetings.
Please take the key of my place from the doorkeeper (female), go up to my place, and give the fleece to the merchants; it lies with three others. Receive Herakles with you so that he may recognize it, so that the transaction may take place. And the night after tomorrow send a donkey so that I may come down. See that you do not neglect this, for their labour, compared with all the others, lies smaller. Above all, farewell.

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.
