End of a letter about a note for Ammonios TM 31817unbekanntIII
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 →
The end of a private letter asking the recipient to deliver promptly something belonging to a certain Ammonios, along with a short letter the writer sent him about it. The writer closes by wishing the recipient good health and urging him to remember to come back. It dates to the 3rd century AD.
In English machine translation
[…] possible, something belonging to Ammonios the wool-shearer (?), and the little letter which I sent to him about this, please hand it over to him quickly.
I pray for your health and that you remember your return to us.
The word read as "ποκτῆρι" is probably a form of ποκτήρ (wool-shearer or plucker), so Ammonios' trade is uncertain. The opening lines of the letter are lost.
