Ὡρείωνι κεντυρίωνι τῷ κυρίῳ Ἀσκληπιάδης
χαίρειν.
εἰδώς σοῦ τὸ εὐσεβές, ἔγραψά σοι, κύριε,
ὅπως παρὰ Σαββᾶτος στρατιώτου
σπουδάσεις λημφθῆναι καὶ πεμφθῆναί μοι σείτου μάτια ζ ἐπεὶ ἀσθενέστερός εἰμι. ἄλλον γὰρ θεὸν οὐκ ἔχω ἢ σέ.
ἔρρωσο.Translations (1)
To Horion, centurion, my lord, Asklepiades, greetings.
Knowing your piety, I have written to you, lord, so that you will take care that 7 matia of grain be taken from Sabbas the soldier and sent to me, since I am rather ill. For I have no other god but you.
Farewell.

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.
