Privatbrief via HGV-meta
Letter from Petysis asking for a half solidus for the ninth indiction. A short private letter from Petysis to Apphynchios and Didymos the carpet-maker, asking them to give a further half gold solidus to his brother Pettirios, a secretary, as an amerimnia payment for the ninth indiction, just as he had earlier received a half solidus from them in the village. It dates to the 4th century AD and probably comes from Hermopolis. machine translation

To my lord brother Apphynchios and to Didymos, carpet-maker, Petysis son of Pantebe (?).
Just as I received from you in the village the half of the solidus, so now too provide to my brother Pettirios, secretary, for security of the ninth indiction, another half gold coin. But do not neglect it, lord brothers. We pray for your health for many years, lord brothers.

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.
