Ἀρτειμᾶς Ἡρακλείδῃ τῷ ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν. ἀπέσταλκές μοι ἤδη τρὶς ὑπὲρ τῶν ἱματίων σου ὅτι φορεῖται. ἔπεμψα Διδύμην ἵνα γνῷ καὶ φάσιν μοι πέμψῃ καὶ οὐδέν μοι ἔπεμψε.

Letter from Arteimas to Herakleides about his garments TM 24168Mons Claudianus
The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →
A short private letter on an ostracon from Mons Claudianus in which Arteimas tells Herakleides that, after his three messages about his garments being worn, Arteimas sent a woman named Didyme to find out about them, but she never reported back.
In English machine translation
Arteimas to Herakleides his brother, greetings. You have already sent to me three times about your garments, that they are being worn. I sent Didyme so that she might find out and send me word, and she sent me nothing.
"Brother" may be a term of familiarity rather than literal kinship. The name is spelled Arteimas in the text and Artimas in the catalogue title; the phrase "that they are being worn" suggests someone else was using Herakleides' clothes.
