Διόσκορος Ἀμμωνίῳ τῶι πολλὰ χαίρειν. γινώσκειν σε θέλω ὅτι ἐκομισάμην σου ἐπιστόλιον διὰ Ἑρμείνου τοῦ κοινοῦ φί λου ὡς κομισαμένου σου παρʼ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον ἀριθμοῦ δραχμὰς μ, ὁμοίως καὶ πυροῦ ἀρτάβας γ, καὶ παρὰ Ἀπολλῶτος δραχμὰς ιϛ, ὥστε εἶναι ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ δραχμὰς νϛ. ἴσθι δὲ σεαυτῷ ὅτι κατὰ προκοπὴν τῶν ἔργων οὐ λείψειλείψι σε τὸ κατʼ ἐμὲν μέρος ἀλλὰ διαπέμψο μαί σοι· διὸ παρακαλῶ σε, ἄδελφε, οὕτως αὐτῶν ἐπιμέλου μὴ ὡς μισθωσί μων ἀλλὰ ὡς ἰδιοκτήτων σου. καὶ καλῶς ποιήσεις ἀντιβαλὼν Σεμ πρωνίω τὸ λογαρίδιον ἵνα μοι αὐτὸ διαπέμψηται. ἰδού, καὶ ἀγράφιν ιαιω ἵνα εἰς αὐτὸ γράφῃ η εὐλαβῶς τὴν ἀρτάβην παρὰ Ἥρωνος δήλωσον ἔρρωσθαί σε δὲ εὔχομαι σὺν ὅλῳ τῷ ἀβασκάντω σου οἴκῳ. ἀπόδος Ἀμμωνίῳ Ἀπολλοδώρου

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.
