τῷ ἀξιολογωτάτῳ Ἀπόλλωνι
Δίδυμος χαίρειν.
ῥύσις χωρίου Διονύσου ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ
τῶν ληνιδίων ϛ τετράχοα Ερλβ,
διπλᾶ ρκα, δίχοα λζ, ξενικόκουφα
ἀριθμῷ η, εἰς ἃ κατηνγίσθη ἐπὶ
τὸ αὐτὸ μέτρα σια καὶ διαταγῆς
ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ μέτρα ρκγ, γίνεται ἐπὶ τοῦ
ὅλου χωρίου Ευξδ. τὰ κτήνη ἀπέστειλα μετὰ τοῦ τέκτονος καὶ Σώτου
καὶ τοῦ οἰκοδόμου σήμερον ἐκβάντος τῆς ὑποκαύσεως τῆς ὀπτῆς, δοὺς
αὐτῷ καὶ τοὺς μισθοὺς αὐτοῦ ὡς αὐτὴ ἔγραψέν μοι. φρόντισον πῶς
ἀνελθεῖν ἡμᾶς, εἰ μὴ θέλεις ἀνελθεῖν ἡμᾶς διὰ τῶν παρʼ ἡμῖν κτηνῶν. ἐὰν γὰρ τύχωμεν πλοίου εἰς ὃ
ἡ μικὴ δύναται ἐμβῆναι, ἀνερχόμεθα, εἰ δὲ θέλεις ἀποστεῖλαι ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς τὰ κτήνη εἰς τὸ τοῦ Λαγᾶ ἵνα
διὰ νυκτὸς ὁδεύσαντες ἀνέλθωμεν,
μόνον μὴ ἡμᾶς καταλείψῃς τὸν
μικρὸν πάκτωνα ὃν μετὰ Ἰσιδώρου
ἀνέπεμψα, οὐκ ἐτόλμησεν γὰρ
ἡ μικὴ ἐκεῖ ἐμβῆναι.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.

Δίδυμος.Translations (1)
To the most esteemed Apollon, Didymos, greetings.
The yield (?) of the vineyard of Dionysos, all together from the 6 small wine-vats: 5132 four-chous jars, 121 double jars, 37 two-chous jars, 8 light foreign jars, into which were poured altogether 211 measures, and of the allowance (?) altogether 123 measures; total for the whole vineyard 5464. I sent the animals today with the carpenter and Sotas and the builder, when the heating of the kiln (?) was finished, having also given him his wages as she wrote to me. See to how we are to come up, unless you want us to come up with the animals we have here. For if we find a boat which the little one can board, we are coming up; but if you wish to send the animals to us to the place of Lagas so that we may travel by night and come up, only do not leave us; the small boat which I sent up with Isidoros, for the little one did not dare to board there.
I pray for your health.
[verso]
To the most esteemed Apollonios, Didymos.

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 30676 (see that record)
