Privatbrief via HGV-meta
Letter to a father about workmen's wages and money of Theodoros. A private letter from the 4th century AD, probably from the Arsinoite nome, written by a son to his father about workmen and their wages. The writer asks for wages to be sent, explains the service record of a workman from Arabon in a dispute involving one Asep and an overseer, and asks that money of Theodoros be sent by a trustworthy man rather than by Dios. machine translation

πάλιν ὡς τὸ πρότερον. ἐδήλωσά σοι δὲ περὶ
τῶν ὄντων ἐν ἡμῖν ἐργατῶν ὅτι ποίαν
ἡμέραν ἀπήντησαν διὰ Δίου· μὴ θελήσῃ οὖν

Χοιὰκ ε, ἀπὸ δὲ Χοιὰκ ϛ ἀφʼ ἧς ἀπεστάλη ἐπὶ
τὴν ἀλλαγὴν ἠνάγκασέ με ὁ ἐφεστὼς στῆσαι αὐτόν.
καὶ μὴ πάλιν πέμψῃς Δῖον διὰ τὰ ἀργύρια Θεοδώρου, μετὰ μισθοῦ γὰρ καὶ αὐτὸς ἔρχεται, ἀλλὰ πέμψον αὐτὰ διὰ ἀνθρώπου πεπιστευμένου. τεσσεράκοντα ἓξ γὰρ τάλαντά μοι δέδωκεν ἀπὸ

and send their wages, not again as before. I informed you about the workmen who are with us, on which day they arrived, through Dios. So let Asep not want to say, "I am satisfied (?) concerning the workman from Arabon"; he himself (says) that he stood (in service) until Choiak 5, but from Choiak 6, from which day he was sent to the relief shift, the overseer compelled me to put him in place. And do not again send Dios for the money of Theodoros, for he too comes for a wage, but send it through a trustworthy man. For he has given me 46 talents out of the 40 […] and send a few monthly allowances […] for […] from them […] to deceive […] Joannes (?) […] receives (?) […] nurse (?) […] sit (?)

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.
