Σερτόρις Ἰουλίῳ Βιθυνῷ
πλεῖστα χαίρειν· ἤκουσα ὅτι ἠσθένησας· εὔχομαί σε ὑγιαίνειν.
οἶδας καὶ σὺ ὅτι οὐθὲν ὧδε ἔχομεν
πέμψαι σοι εὐθέως. τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου Λονγίνωι ὁμοῦ ζῶμεν. εἰρηκὼς μοι ὑπὲρ
τοῦ κομονοπλαρίου σου
εἰς Διὸς πόλιν καὶ οὐ πεπίστευκά σοι. ἀφ’ οὗ ἀνέβην, μετὰ Λονγίνου
συνσκηνῶ. εἰς ἡμᾶς
ὁ ἄνθρωπος πολεμεῖ,
ὁ κομονοπλάρις σου,
ψευδομαρτυρῶν.
ἄσπασαι Κλήμην.
ἀσπάζεταί σε Λονγῖνος. ἄσπασαι τοὺς
συνστρατιώτας πάντας.Translations (1)
Sertorius to Iulius Bithynus, very many greetings. I heard that you were ill; I pray that you are well.
You yourself know that we have nothing here to send you immediately. We live together with your brother Longinus. Having told me about your commonoplarius (?) going to Diospolis, I did not even believe you. Since I came up, I have been sharing a tent with Longinus. The man is making war on us, your commonoplarius, by bearing false witness.
Greet Klemes.
Longinus greets you. Greet all our fellow soldiers.

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.
