Ἱεροκλῆς Ζήνωνι χαίρειν. εἰ ἔρρωσαι καὶ ἐν τοῖς λοιποῖς ἀπαλλάσσεις κατὰ νοῦν, καλῶς ἂν ἔχοι. ὑγιαίνω δὲ καὶ αὐτὸς. ἔγραψάς μοι περὶ Πύρρου ὅτι εἰ μὲν ἡμεῖς ἐπιστάμεθα ἀκριβῶςακρειβως ὅτι νικήσει, ἀλείφειν, εἰ δὲ μή, μὴ συνβῆι αὐτὸν ἀπό τε τῶν γραμμάτων ἀποσπασθῆναι καὶ ἀνήλωμααναλωμα μάταιον προσπεσεῖν. ἀπὸ μὲν οὖν τῶν γραμμάτων οὐ πάνυ ἀπεσπάσθη, ἀλλὰ παραβάλλει, καὶ πρὸς τὰ λοιπὰ δὲ μαθήματα. περὶ δὲ τοῦ ἀκριβῶς ἐπίστασθαι, οἱ θεοὶ μάλισ τʼ ἂν εἰδείησανεἰδέησαν, τῶν δὲ νῦν ὄντων πολὺ ὑπερέξειν φησὶ Πτολεμαῖος, καίπερ τὸ παρὸν λείπεται παρὰ τὸ ἐκείνους μὲν προειληφέναιπροιιληφεναι χρόνον πολύν, ἡμεῖς δὲ ἄρτι ἐναρχόμεθα ἀλείφοντες. καὶ ἐπίστω ὅτι Πτολεμαῖος οὐ μισθοὺς ἐκπράσσεταιἐπρασεται ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ ἐπιστάται, ἁπλῶς δʼ ἐλπίζει σε στεφανῶσαι ἀνθʼ ὧν ἀγνὼς ὢν αὐτῶι πρότερος ἐβούλου εὐεργετεῖν καὶ τα ποιεῖς περὶ τῆς παλαίστρας. φρόντισον δὲ καὶ περὶ τοῦ στρωματίου περὶ οὗ ἔγραψά σοι πρότερον ἵνα καταγάγηις. καὶ ῥίσκον πρίω δραχμῶν ἓξ καὶ κατάγαγε. ἀπόστειλον δὲ καὶ μέλιτος κάδια δύο , ἵνα ἔχωμεν· χρήσιμον γάρ ἐστι.

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.
