Ἀθανάσιος Ἀμμωνίῳ γραμματεῖ Φιλαδελ φίας. τὴν κάμηλον ἥνπερ πεποί ηκάς με ἀγοράσαι νομισ ματίων πέντε καὶ γράμματος, ἣν γράμματος ἑνὸς ἔλεγόν σοι ὅτι γραῦς ἐστιν καὶ ἔλεγες μὴ εἶναι αὐτὴν γραῦν, καὶ τὸν πῶλον τῶν τεσσάρων χρυσίνων παρὰ γράμματος, τῆς μὲν γρα ΐδοςγραείτος οὐδεὶςγραὸςτοῦτο οὐδεὶςοὐδὶς παρεῖχεν εἰ μὴ χρύσινα τέσσαρα, τοῦ δὲ πώλου ὁμοίως εἰ μὴ τρία. μὰ τὴν γὰρ θεί ανθίαν πρόνοιαν, ὁλόκληρον ἡμέραν ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ ἀπέμειναν καὶ οὐδεὶςοὐδὶς παρέσχεν εἰ μὴ οὕτως ὡς προ εῖπον τιμήν. εἰ οὖν βούλει με αὐτά σοι ἀποστεῖλαιἀποστῖλαι ἢ οὕτως λογίσασθαι, δήλωσόν μοι· οὐ δύναμαι γὰρ ζημίαν ὑποστῆναι. ἐρρῶσθαί σεσαι εὔχομαι.

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.
