Στατίλιος Ἐπαφροδίτῳ τῷ ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν· μὴ νομίσῃς
ὅτι ἠμέλησα περὶ πλακίων·
οὐδεὶς ὀνηλάτης ἠθέλησε αὐτὰ
αἴρειν. διὰ τῶν καμηλίων πέμψω
σοι αὐτά. καλῶς ποιήσεις διαλέξαι μοι δύο δελφάκια καὶ πέμψεις
διὰ τῆς προβολῆς. πέμψεις πόσου εἰσίν.Translations (1)
Statilius to Epaphroditos his brother, greetings. Do not think that I neglected the matter of the plakia (?): no donkey-driver was willing to carry them. I will send them to you with the camels. Please pick out two piglets for me and send them through the praesidium. Send word how much they cost.

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.
