Γράτα Σουκκέσσωι τῶι ἀδελφῶι πλεῖστα χαίρειν.
μετέδωκα Ἀρτειμᾷ ὑπὲρ τῶν ρμ̅ ἀσκῶν
καὶ ἀπεκρίθη μηδὲ εἰληφέναι αὐτοὺς μηδʼ ἑωρακέναι. ἔπεμψα Γέταν πρὸς τὸν
σησκούπλικα καὶ αὐτὸς εἶπε μὴ εἰληφέναι.
ἐφώνησε δὲ Ἀλέξανδρον τόν ποτε
κουράτορα καὶ εἶπε ἐκεῖνος εἰληφέναι
καὶ πάλι Καστορᾶτι αὐτοὺς παραδεδωκέναι.
ἰδὼν Ἀρτειμᾶς ἃ ἔπεμψας ἐγόγγυσε
λέγων οὐαί μοι τῷ ἐλειδίῳ χορηγεῖν
οὐκ ἔχω. ἀσπάζου Σαβεῖνον τὸν
ἀδελφόν μου καὶ πάντας.
ἐρρῶσθαι ὑμᾶς εὔχομαι.Translations (1)
Grata to Successus her brother, very many greetings.
I informed Arteimas about the 140 skins, and he replied that he had neither received them nor seen them. I sent Getas to the sesquiplicarius, and he too said he had not received them. But he called Alexander, the former curator, and that man said he had received them and had in turn handed them over to Kastoras. When Arteimas saw what you had sent, he grumbled, saying, "Woe is me, I have nothing to supply to the little olive-grove (?)." Greet Sabinus my brother and everyone.
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.
