Ἀπολλώνιος Ζήνωνι χαίρειν. ὁ βασιλεὺς συνέτασσεν ἡμῖν δισπορῆσαι τὴν γῆν. ὡς ἂν οὖν ἐχθερίσηις τὸν πρώιον σῖτον, εὐθέως πότισον τὴν γῆν ἀπὸ χειρόςχερός, ἐὰν δὲ μὴ δυνατὸν ἦι, κηλώνεια ἐπιστήσας πλείονα οὕτω πότιζε, μὴ πλείους δὲ πέντε ἡμερῶν σύσχηις τὸ ὕδωρ, καὶ καταψύξας εὐθέως κατάσπειρε τὸν τρίμηνον πυρόν. γράψον δὲ καὶ πρὸς ἡμᾶς πότε δύνασαι θερίζειν τὸν σῖτον. ἔρρωσο. ἔτους λ, Δίου ιγ, Ἁθὺρ γ.

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.
