[r] Ὡρεῖς Ὡρίωνι τῶι ἀδελφῶι πλεῖστα χαίρειν. πρὸ τῶν ὅλων εὔχομαί σε ὑγιαίνειν. δευτέραν σοι ἐπιστολὴν γράφω καὶ οὐδεμίαν μοι ἀντέγραψας. ἐγώ σε πάντοτε φιλῶ, σὺ δὲ παρεξουδενεῖς με. ἀνερχόμενος ἀνενεγκῶ σοι τὰ καλλάινα, καὶ εἴ τι ἐὰν δηλώσεις μοι διὰ Εὐριπᾶτος τοῦ ἀναδιδόντος σοι τὸ ἐπιστόλιον. ἐὰν μὴ ἦν σοι ἀβαρές, μεταβαλοῦ Σαραπᾶτι χαλκὸν ἕως ἀναβῶ. εἰς τὴν ἑορτὴν ἔπεμψά σοι ῥοίδια πέντε . ἐὰν μὴ ἦν σοι ἀβαρός, γράψον μοι ἐπιστολὴν διὰ τοῦ ἀναδιδόντος σοι τὸ ἐπιστόλιον περὶ τῆς ὑγιείας σου. κόμισαι παρὰ Θέωνος μάνια δύο καὶ τήρησόν μοι αὐτὰ ἕως ἀναβῶ, καὶ δήλωσόν μοι. ἄσπασαι Κλαυδίαν τὴν ἀγαθοτάτην καὶ τοὺς φιλοῦντάς σε πάντας. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι. μηνὸς Ἁδριανοῦ ε.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] Horeis to Horion his brother, very many greetings. Before all else I pray that you are in good health. This is the second letter I am writing to you, and you have not answered me at all. I always love you, but you disregard me. When I come up I will bring you the cabbages (?), and anything else you let me know through Euripas who delivers the letter to you. If it is not a burden to you, transfer copper money to Sarapas until I come up. For the festival I sent you five pomegranates. If it is not a burden to you, write me a letter through the one who delivers the letter to you, about your health. Get two collars (?) from Theon and keep them for me until I come up, and let me know. Greet the most excellent Claudia and all who love you. I pray for your health. Month of Hadrianos, 5. [verso] Deliver to Horion from Horeis, his brother.

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.
