τί ἐπράχθη ὑμῖν περὶ τῆς Πακερκὴ οὐκ ἐδήλωσάς μοι. εἴ τι γὰρ
οἱ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Ἀμμωνίωνος
ποιοῦσι, τὸ αὐτὸ ποιεῖν ὀφείλεις.
φρόντισον τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἡμῖν πλασθῆναι μυριάδας πλίνθου ἐν μὲν
τῇ χερσαμπέλωι πρὸς τῶι κτήματι μυριάδας δύο καὶ τοῖς χώμασι δύο. ἀλλʼ ὅρα μὴ ἀμελήσῃς τὸν ἀλοητὸν τῆς νήσου, καὶ Περώθεως ἀπʼ ἐντεῦθεν ἔκδος ἀνθρώποις
ἀσφαλέσι, ἵνα πρὸς τὸν καιρὸν ἀμεριμνήσωμεν. ἐρρῶσθαί σε
εὔχομαι φίλτατε.

Ἡρακλείδηι φίλωιTranslations (1)
Herakleides to his dearest Herakleides, greetings.
You did not tell me what was done by you about the (land? matter?) of Pakerke. For whatever the people of my brother Ammonion are doing, you ought to do the same.
Take care to have bricks moulded for us, tens of thousands: on the dry vineyard land by the estate 20,000, and at the dikes 20,000. But see that you do not neglect the threshing of the island, and from now on lease out Perotheos to reliable people, so that we may be free of worry when the time comes. I pray for your health, dearest.
Choiak 5.
[verso]
To Herakleides, his friend.

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.
