Ἱερακίων Παπνουθίῳ ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν. ἀπέστειλα πρὸς σὲ τὸν ἀδελφόν μου Διογένην ἵνα τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτῷ δῷς ἐκ πλήρους· παρήγγειλα γὰρ αὐτῷ ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ τὸ πᾶν μηδὲν λάβῃς. οἶδας γὰρ ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἦς προσφωνήσας οὐκ ἐδίδουν τὰς χλαμύδας. καὶ πύθου τοῦ Ἡρᾶ εἰ δίδωσι τὴν τιμὴν τοῦ ἀχύρου· συμφέρει γὰρ αὐτῷ· ἐὰν δὲ δίδῃ, δότω Διογένει. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Hierakion to Papnouthis, his brother, greetings. I have sent to you my brother Diogenes so that you may give him the money in full; for I instructed him: "Unless (you get) the whole, take nothing." For you know that if you had not given notice, I would not have handed over the cloaks. And ask Heras whether he is paying the price of the chaff; for it is to his advantage. If he does pay, let him give it to Diogenes. I pray for your health.

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.
