Transcription

[r] Ἰσχυρίων Κορνηλίῳ τῷ πατρὶ χαίρειν. ἐκομισάμην σου τὰ γράμματα διὰ Σερήνου. ἔμαθον δὲ περὶ τῆς μητρός μου. πειρῶ δὲ καὶ σὺ γράφειν μοι περὶ τῆς ὑγιείας σου καὶ τῶν ἡμετέρων. τὰ ἱμάτια ἐὰν ᾖ γεγονότα μὴ διαπέμπῃς μοι ἄχρις ἂν δηλώσω σοι περὶ αὐτῶν. ἀσπάζομαι τὸν ἀδελφὸν Ὡρίωνα καὶ τὴν μητέρα μου Θαῆσιν καὶ τοὺς ἐν οἴκῳ πάντας κατʼ ὄνομα. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι πάτερ. [v] ἀπόδος Κορνηλίωι παρὰ Ἰσχυρίωνος υἱοῦ

[recto] Ischyrion to Cornelius his father, greetings. I received your letter through Serenos. I learned about my mother. Try to write to me yourself about your health and about our family. If the cloaks have been made, do not send them to me until I let you know about them. I greet my brother Horion and my mother Thaesis and all those at home by name. I pray for your health, father. [verso] Deliver to Cornelius from Ischyrion his son.

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.
