κυρίῳ μου ἀδελφῷ Δωροθέῳ
Παπνοῦθις.
ἐλθὼν Πανεχώτης πρὸς
με καὶ εἶπέν μοι ὅτι ἔπεμψε
Εὐτρύγιος πρὸς σὲ περὶ τῶν
ἀπὸ κώμης Σύρων. ἐὰν μάθῃς ὅτι ἠθέλησεν πρὸς σὲ
λέγειν εἰπὲ αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐνέτυχον
τῷ δεσπότῃ μου τῷ ἐπάρχῳ
περὶ τούτου. ἐκέλευσεν Πτολεμαίῳ τῷ πολιτευομένῳ
τῆς Κυνὼ ἀκροᾶσαι τὸ πρᾶγμα
καὶ ἀναφορὰν πεποίηκεν
ἵνα αὖτις ἀπαντήσω
πρὸς τὴν ἀρετὴν τοῦ κυρίου μου
τοῦ λαμπροτάτου ἐπάρχου.
καὶ ἄπελθε πρὸς τὸν γεοῦχον
ἡμῶν Διογένην. ποίησον
αὐτὸν ὁμιλῆσαι Εὐτρυγίῳ
καὶ ἀντίγραψόν μοι τί πεποίηκας πρὸς αὐτούς.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι πολλοῖς
χρόνοις, κύριε ἄδελφε.Translations (1)
To my lord brother Dorotheos,
Papnouthis.
Panechotes came to me and told me that Eutrygios sent to you about the people from the village of Syron. If you learn that he wanted to speak to you, tell him that I petitioned my lord the prefect about this. He ordered Ptolemaios, the councillor of Kynopolis, to hear the matter, and he has made a report, so that I may again present myself before the excellency of my lord the most illustrious prefect.
And go to our landowner Diogenes. Make him speak with Eutrygios, and write back to me what you have done with them.
I pray for your health for many years, lord 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.
