κυρίῳ ἀδελφῷ Ἡρκουλανῷ Ἱέραξ εὖ πράττειν. τὰ μὲν γράμματά σου κομισάμενος, κύριέ μου ἀδελφέ, πανή γυριν ἤγαγον. ὡς δὲ καὶ τῷ κυρίῳ μου ἀδελφῷ Ἡλιοδώρῳ τῷ πραιποσίτῳ διὰ δημοσίας ἐπιστολῆς φανερὸν πεποί ηκα, χρηα διὰ τὴν θείαν τύχην τῶν δεσποτῶν ἡμῶν τῶν Σεβαστῶν καὶ τῶνκαὶ τῶν ἐπιφανεστάτων Καισάρων· κελεύσεως δὲ οὔσης τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ διασημοτάτου καθολικοῦ πέμπειν τοὺς πραιποσίτους πρός με τὰς πετιτίονας καὶ ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ πρὸς τὴν τάξιντάξειν τὴν καθολικήν, ἵνα αἱ δηλη γατίονες ὑπὸ τοῦ κυρίου μου τοῦ διασημοτάτου καθολικοῦ ἐκπεμφθατα στρατη προστάξαι ενε επιον μίαν τοῦ δωνατίου γενεθλίου τοῦ δεσπότου ἡμῶν Μαξιμιανοῦ τοῦ Καίσαρος, ἄλλην δὲ στιπενδίου καλανδῶν Σεπτεμβρίων, καὶ τὴν τρίτηντρείτην σαλγάμου. αἱ μὲν πετιτίονες ἐπὶ τὸν κύριόν μου τὸν διασημότατον καθολικὸν ἀνηνέχθησαν. ἐπειδὰνἐπιδὰν δὲ αἱ δηληγατίονεςληγατίονες ἀπαντῶσιν, εὐθέως ὑπʼ ἐμοῦ διὰ ταχυδρόμου ἐπισταλήσονται. θεοί σε σῴζοιεν μετὰ τῶν φιλτάτων διὰ παντός. ἀδελφῷ Ἡρκουλανῷ.Cross-references (3)

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.
