Ζήνωνι χαίρειν Νικόλαος. οὐκ ἀ γνοῶ μὲν εαισαιι, ἀναγκαίου δὲ ὄντος τοῦ πράγματος ἀξιῶ σε προχρῆσαι ἡμῖν, ἵνα μὴ γυμνοὶ ὄντες ἀσχημονῶμεν, ἀλλὰ ἱματίσωμεν ἡμᾶς αὐτούς, ἀργυρίου δραχμὰς ιδ, ὥστʼ εἶναι σὺν ταῖς ἔμπροσθεν δραχμαῖς ι δραχμὰς κδ. τούτου δέ σοι προήσομαι χεῖραχέρα, ἐφʼ ὧι ἀποτείσω σοι ἀφʼ ἧς ἂν ἡμέρας ἀνα πλεύσω ἐν ἡμέραις ἑξήκοντα, τάς τε χρείας σοι παρεξόμεθα τριπλασίας, ὅσον ἂν χρόνον λειτουρ γῶμέν σοι, ὥσπερ καὶ ἔμπροσθεν. ἴσθι δὲ ὅτι, εἰ παρά τινος τῶν ὧδε ἠδυνάμεθα πορίσασθαιπορισαι τὸ αὐτό, τοῦτο ποιήσαντες οὐκ ἂν σὲ ἠνωχλοῦμεν. εὐτύχει.

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.
