Δίδυμος Ἑρμιόνῃ τῇ κυρίᾳ πολλὰ χαίρειν.
εὐκαιρίαν εὑρὼν τοῦ πρὸς σὲ ἐρχομένου
ἐχάρην, ἵνα σὲ ἀσπάζωμαι καὶ εὔχωμαι τοῖς
θεοῖς ὑπὲρ σοῦ, ἵνα σὲ διαφυλάξωσι καὶ ἤδη καλῶς
ποιήσεις ἐπιστείλας ἡμῖν περὶ τῆς σῆς ὑγίειας.
ἀσπάζονταί σε υἱοί σου, ἀσπάζομαι Εὐδαίμονα
καὶ Σουεροῦν καὶ Εὐδαιμονίδα καὶ ελκικην
ἔρρωσο.

[recto]
Didymos to Hermione, his lady, very many greetings.
Having found an opportunity in someone coming to you, I was glad, so that I might greet you and pray to the gods for you, that they may keep you safe; and now you will do well to write to us about your health.
Your sons greet you. I greet Eudaimon and Soueros and Eudaimonis and Elkike (?).
Farewell.
[verso]
To Hermione from Didymos

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 27750 (see that record)
