τῷ ὡς ἀληθῶς ἀγαπητῷ ἀδελφῷ Ἀφυγγίῳ Πτολεμαῖος ἀπὸ Τακόνα. ἐπεί σου ἡ ἀγάπη ἤρεσεν τῷ θεῷ, δέον ἡμῶν ἐστὶν τοῦ σε εὐδοκιμοῦν τα ἐπαινεῖν, ἄδελφε. καταξίωσον, ἐὰν ᾖ σοι κεχαρισμένον, συνελθεῖν τῷ καμηλαρίῳ ἄχρις οὗ τὰ ἀποσταλέντα ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ τῷ Ἰσὰκ λάβῃς κατὰ τάχος, τουτέστιν ἄρτων ζεύγη δύο καὶ ἐλαίου ῥαφανίνου στα μνίον ἓν χωροῦν ὡσεὶ ξέστας δύο καὶ ὄξους ἀναγκαίου διπλοῦν ς καὶ οἴνου ὀμφακηρὰναμφακηραν μίαν καὶ ων μίαν καὶ ονιμαν μίαν καὶ τυρὰ τρία καὶ ἥμισυἡμις καὶ ῥιπίδιον ἓν καὶ ἀδελφῶι, καὶ εἴ τι δʼ ἂν δέχη ται ὁ καμηλάριος παρὰ τοῦ αὐτοῦ, τὸν τέλειον λόγον δήλωσόν μοι ποῖον ἐστὶν τοῦτο, ἵνα ὁ καμηλάριος αὐτὸ λάβῃ. προσαγορεύω τὴν τιμί αν μητέρα Κύραν καὶ ἐμοὺςημους φίλους πάντας. οὐκ ἐδυνήθην ἐντ εσθαι αὐτὸν ἀποστεῖλαι, σὺν θεῷ δὲ τάχα πέμ ψω σοι εὐλογίαν. ἔρρωσθαί σε εὔχομαι τῷ ὡς ἀληθῶς ἀγαπητῷ ἀδελφῷ Ἀφυγγίῳ χρυσοχόῳ Πτολεμαῖος ἀπὸ Τακόνα.

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.
