Ζήνων Κρότωι χαίρειν. ὡς ἂν τάχιστα λάβηις τὴν ἐπιστολήν, λαβὲ παρὰ Πάσιτος τοῦ Ἰουδαίου ἐρίων μνᾶς κε καὶ ἀπέγδος Ἀρτεμι δώρωι ἵνα κατασκευάσηι στρωμάτιον, ὥστε τῶι μήκει ἐπὶ δίεδρον ἢ μικρῶι μεῖζον, διπρόσωπον· χρεία γὰρ αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ὥστε Πισικλεῖ· καὶ ὡς ἂν τάχιστα γένηται, ἀπόστειλον εἰς Μέμφιν πρὸς Ἀρτεμί δωρον, καὶ πειράθητι ὅπως ἐν ἡμέραις ιε γένηται. γεγράφαμεν δὲ καὶ Πάσι δοῦναί σοι τὰ ἔρια. ἔρρωσο. ἔτους λγ, Ἐπεὶφ κη.

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.
