Θεόδωρος Σαβίνῳ τῷ
τιμιωτάτῳ ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν· πρὸ
παντὸς εὔχομαί σε ἰσχύειν καὶ
ὑγιαίνειν. ὡς ἄρτι οὐκ ᾔδειν
ὅτι εἰς Διδύμους εἶ· εἰ δὲ μὴ
καθ' ἡμέραν σοι ἔπεμψα λαχάνια. κόμισαι παρὰ τοῦ ὀνηλάτου Κλαυδίου δέσμην
κραμβίων καυλοὺς θ καλοὺς
καὶ θριδάκια η. ἔρρωσο.Translations (1)
Theodoros to Sabinus, his most honoured brother, greetings. Before all else I pray that you are strong and in good health. Until just now I did not know that you were at Didymoi; otherwise I would have sent you vegetables every day. Receive from the donkey-driver Claudius a bundle of cabbages, 9 fine stalks, and 8 lettuces. 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.
