Transcription
Ὡρίων Ἠλίᾳ τῷ ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν.
καὶ ἀπόντος μου ἔμαθον τὴν σπουδὴν
ἣν ἐποίησας ἡμῖν παρασχὼν ἡμῖν
τὰ βοίδια εἰς τὴν σποράν. καλῶς οὖν
ποιήσεις, ἄδελφε, συνχωρήσας ἡμῖν
αὐτὰ ἄλλας ἡμέρας τρεῖς , ἕως ἀπαλλάξωμεν. παρήγγειλα δὲ Εὐδαίμονι,
ἵνα λάβῃ παρὰ Διονυσίου χόρτον. ἤνωσα γὰρ αὐτὸν δοῦναί
μοι. θαρρῶ οὖν, ἄδελφε,
ὅτι οὐκ ἀμελεῖς μου.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι, ἄδελφε.
β ἔτους Τῦβι ιη.Translations (1)
Horion to Elias his brother, greetings.
Even while I was away I learned of the zeal which you showed us in providing us with the oxen for the sowing. Please, therefore, brother, let us have them for another three days, until we finish. I have instructed Eudaimon to get fodder from Dionysios, for I persuaded (?) him to give it to me. I am confident, then, brother, that you do not neglect me.
I pray for your health, brother.
Year 2, Tybi 18.

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.
- date — from APIS-papyrus, TM-Text 42504 (see that record)
