Ἀμμώνιος Ἀθηνοδώρωι τῶι πατρὶ χαίρειν.
ἐπεὶ ἐδήλωσας πέμψαι ἀνθρώπους
εἰς τὴν μηχανὴν εὐθέως σοι πλείονας ἔπεμψα. ἐπέμφθη σοι δὲ διὰ Φέδρου ἐν μαρσιππίῳ[…]μιν καὶ ἐλαῖαι τεσσεράκοντα καὶ
κρομμύδια. ἴσθι δὲ τὸν κῆπον τετραυματισμένον ἅλι. οὐδέπω ὁ λίθος ἐστράφη. οὔπω οὐδὲν καινότερον.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι εὐτυχῶς.
ἀσπάζου τὸν κουράτορα καὶ Σαραπιόδωρον
ἐὰν δὲ χρήζουσιν ἄλλου ἑνὸς ἀν θρώπου εὐ ποιήσεις δοὺς αὐ τοῖς ἐπεὶ ὁ ὄχλος
τὸν λίθον
στρέφου σιν.Translations (1)
Ammonios to Athenodoros his father, greetings.
Since you asked me to send men to the machine, I immediately sent you more. There was sent to you through Phedros in a bag […] and 40 olives and onions. Know that the garden has been damaged by salt (?). The stone has not yet been turned. Nothing new yet.
I pray for your good health and fortune.
Greet the curator and Sarapiodoros.
If they need one more man, you will do well to give him to them, since the crowd is turning the stone.

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.
