Letter from Harpokras to Damas and Athenodoros about bundles of cabbage. A short private letter on an ostracon from the Roman fort of Didymoi in the Eastern Desert, in which Harpokras tells Damas, Athenodoros and their friends to collect bundles of cabbage sent with a donkey-driver's boy, Serapion, and divide them. He also asks that the fort's curator write to the man at Harpokras' location once the plasterer has left. machine translation

Harpokras to Damas and Athenodoros and all the friends, very many greetings. Receive from Serapion, the donkey-driver's boy, bundles of cabbage: the larger one for the cell-mates themselves, and the other you will give to Proklion, from what we have. And take care that, after the plasterer has left, the curator writes to the one here.
Greet all the friends.

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.
