Διόδωρος Τριβόλωι χαίρειν. ἐπειδὴ μεταπορευόμεθα εἰς Κόπτον μετὰ τῶν καμήλων, καλῶς ποιήσεις, ὡς ἂν παραγένωνται αἱ Πτολεμαίου ἅμαξαι, δοὺς Ἡρακλείδει τῶι παρʼ Ἑρμοδότου τοῦ ἐν Βερενίκηι φυλακίτου τὰς πρὸς Ἑρμόδοτον ἐπιστολάς, ἐν αἷς πρὸς Δωσίθεον τὸν ἀρχιφυλακίτην κυλιστόν, καὶ Ἀπολλωνίωι τῶι φυλακίτηι τῶν ἁμαξῶν τὴν πρὸς Ἀριστόβουλον τὸν παρὰ Χαριμόρτου ἐπιστολήν, περὶ ὧν ἀνελάβομεν εἰς Βερενίκην· καὶ τὰς ἄλλας ἐπιστολὰς ὥστε Ἀσκληπιάδει καὶ Πριάμωι· καὶ μὴ ἄλλως ποιήσηις ὡς δʼ ἂν λάβηις· γράψον μοι.

Diodôros à Tribolos, salut. Comme nous nous transportons à Koptos avec les chameaux, tu feras bien, dès que se présenteront les chars de Ptolemaios, de donner à Hèrakleidès l’agent d’Hermodotos, garde à Bérénice, les lettres destinées à Hermodotos, parmi lesquelles se trouve un rouleau destiné à Dôsitheos le garde en chef; et (tu donneras) à Apollônios, le garde(?) des chars, la lettre destinée à Aristoboulos l’agent de Charimortos concernant ce que nous avons reçu pour Bérénice, ainsi que les autres lettres adressées à Asklèpiadès et à Priamos. (N’agis) pas autrement. Et dès réception (du courrier), écris-moi.

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.
