Ἰουλία Ἀσιατικῷ
τῷ ἀδελφῷ καὶ συμπολίτῃ πλεῖστα χαίρειν·
εὐχαριστῶ σοι κατὰ πάντα·
ἔγραψες λέγων Ἰουλίῳ ὅτι πέμψω σοι τὸν χαλκόν. ἀκούσας ἐξουθενεῖ σε καὶ λέγει ὅτι ἀπολοῦ.
εἴρηκε καὶ χείρω· ἐμοὶ παραχρᾶται. ἄσπασαι τούς σε φιλοῦντας
πάντας. ἄσπασαι Ἥρωνα
καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ πέμψον τὸν
παῖδα.Translations (1)
Julia to Asiatikos, her brother and fellow citizen, very many greetings.
I thank you for everything. You wrote telling Julius, 'I will send you the money.' Having heard this, he scorns you and says, 'You will perish (?)'. He has said even worse things; he treats me with contempt. Greet all those who love you. Greet Heron and tell him, 'Send the slave (boy).'

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.
