Κορβόλων Ἡρακλείδῃ τῶι κυρίωι
χαίρειν.
ἔπεμψά σοι διὰ Ὡρίωνος τὴν κλεῖδα καὶ
διὰ Ὀννώφριος καμηλίτου Ἀπολλωνίου τὸ χελώνιον. συνήλιξα
ἐκείνῃ τῆι ἐπιστολῇ δεῖγμα λευκόινον·
πρὸς αὐτό μοι οὖν ἐρωτηθεὶς εὖ ποιήσεις ἀγοράσεις μοι δραχμὰς β, καὶ ταχύ μοι
πέμψον διʼ οὗ ἐὰν εὕρῃς, ἐπεὶ ὁ χιτὼν
ὑφανθῆναι μέλλει. ἐκομισάμην
πάνθʼ ὅσα ἔγραψας κομίσασθαί με
παρὰ Ὀννώφριος ὑγιῆ. ἔπεμψά σοι
τοῦ αὐτοῦ διὰ Ὀννώφριος μήλων χοίνικας ἓξ
καλῶν. χάριν ἔχω θεοῖς πᾶσιν γιγνώσκων
ὅτι μετέλαβον παρατετευχότα
Πλουτίωνα εἰς τὸν Ὀξυρυγχείτην.
μὴ δόξῃς με ἠμεληκότα τῆς κλειδός, ἀλλὰ ἡ αἰτία αὕτη ἐστίν, διὰ τὸ
τὸν χαλκέα μακρὰν ἡμῶν εἶναι.
περὶ ὧν σοι ἐγεγράφειν διὰ Κορβόλωνος πέμψαι μοι θαυμάζω πῶς
οὐκ ἐδικαίωσάς μοι πέμψαι, καὶ
ταῦτα ἐμοῦ χρῄζοντος εἰς ἑορτήν.
ἐρωτηθεὶς ἀγόρασόν μοι σφραγῖδα ἀργυρᾶν καί τάχιόν μοι πέμψον. σπούδασον ἕως οὗ ἀγοράσῃ
[r,ms]
μοι Ὀννῶφρις ἃ αὐτῷ εἴρηκεν μήτηρ Εἰρήνης. εἶπον αὐτῷ ὅτι ἔλεγε Σύντροφος μηκέτι δοῦναι
τι Ἀμαράντωι εἰς τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν. ὅτι ἔδωκας αὐτῶι δήλωσόν μοι ἵνα συνάρωμαι αὐτῶι λόγον· ἐὰν δʼ ἄρα μή, ἅμα τῶι υἱῶι μου ἐξέρχομαι τούτου ἕνεκα.
[v]
ἔσχον παρὰ Κορβόλωνος τοὺς τυροὺς τοὺς μεγάλους· οὐκ ἤθελον δὲ μεγάλους ἀλλὰ
μικροὺς ἤθελον. περὶ δὲ καὶ σὺ ὧν θέλεις δήλου μοι ἡδέως ποιήσοντι. ἔρρωσο.
Παῦνι α. πέμψον μοι κοπτῶν ὀβολὸν ἕνα τῶι παιδὶ τῆς ἀδελφῆς.
Ἡρακλείδῃ Ἀμμωνίου τῶι κυρίωι.Translations (1)
Korbolon to Herakleides his lord, greeting.
I sent you the key by Horion and the tortoise-shell by Onnophris, camel-driver of Apollonios. I enclosed in that letter a sample of white violet colour; please then buy me 2 drachmas' worth to match it, and send it to me quickly by whomever you can find, since the tunic is about to be woven. I received safely everything you wrote that I should receive from Onnophris. I sent you by the same Onnophris six choinikes of good apples. I give thanks to all the gods, knowing that I learned that Ploution has arrived in the Oxyrhynchite nome. Do not think that I neglected the key; the reason is this, that the smith is far from us. As for what I wrote to you by Korbolon to send me, I wonder how you did not see fit to send it to me, and that when I need it for a festival. Please buy me a silver seal and send it to me quickly. Make sure that Onnophris buys for me
[margin]
the things that the mother of Eirene told him. I told him that Syntrophos said not to give anything more to Amarantos on my account from now on. Let me know what you gave him, so that I may settle account with him; otherwise I shall come out with my son for this purpose.
[verso]
I received from Korbolon the large cheeses; but I did not want large ones, I wanted small ones. Let me know about what you too want, as I will gladly do it. Farewell.
Pauni 1. Send me one obol's worth of cakes for my sister's child.
To Herakleides son of Ammonios, his lord.

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.
