Ζήνωνι χαίρειν Φαράτης μελισσουργός. ἀδικοῦμαι ὑπὸ Μαιεῦτος μελισσουργοῦ. ἀηδίας γάρ μοι πρὸς αὐτὸν γενομένης κατεβόησεν πρὸς σὲ προφθάσας με καὶ ἔδωκας αὐτῶι ἐπιστολὴνἐπισστολὴν τοῦ Παῦνι θ πρὸς Νουμήνιον εἰς Ἀκάνθων πόλιν διακοῦσαι ἡμῶν. ἐκρίθημεν οὖν ἐκεῖ ἐπί τε Νουμηνίου καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων. ὁ δὲ οὐκ ἐνέμεινεν ουυδεν ἐκείνηι τῆι κρίσει, ἀλλʼ ἔφη κριθήσεσθαι ἐπὶ Ζήνωνος κριθήσεσθαι. ἐγὼ δὲ ασζν τωει λαι ἐξ ὧν σε ὠφελήσω ἀνακοινοῦταιἀνακουνοῦται ΛιμναίωιΛιμναιοι. ὁ δὲ ἀπήγαγέν με εἰς τὸ δεσμωτήριον, ὅπως μὴ ἐντύχω σοι τὰ σμήνησζμήνη τὰ τῆς Ἴσιος ἐν Σαρύθει ἐν τῶι Ἀφροδιτοπολίτηι. ἔτι οὖνοὐ καὶ νῦν ἕτοιμός εἰμι ἐγγύουςἐγγυου καταστήσας κριθῆναι αὐτῶι. δέομαι οὖν σου καὶ ἱκετεύω, εἰ καὶ σοι δοκεῖ, μὴ περιιδεῖν με καταφθειρόμενον ἀδίκως ἐν τῶι δεσμωτηρίωι. γνώριζεγνώρισζε δέ με ὄντα ἐν ἀπαγωγῆι ἡμέρας κβ, ὅτε ὁ καιρός ἐστι τῶν μελισσῶν εἰς τὰς νομὰς μεταφέρειν ουαμαι. 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.
