Θεωνᾶς Τεθεῦτι τῆι μητρὶ καὶ κυρίᾳ πλεῖστα χαίρειν. γινώσκεινγεινώσκειν σε θέλω ὅτι διὰ τοσούτου χρόνου οὐκ ἀ πέσταλκά σοι ἐπιστόλιον διότι ἐν παρεμβολῇ εἰμιἠμι καὶ οὐ διʼ ἀσθένειαν, ὥστε μὴ λυποῦλοιποῦ. λίανλείαν δʼ ἐλυπήθηνἐλοιπήθην ἀκούσας ὅτι ἤκουσας. οὐ γὰρ δεινῶς ἠσθένησα. μέμ φομαι δὲ τὸν εἴπαντα σοι. μὴ ὀχλοῦ δὲ πέμπειν τι ἡ μῖν. ἐκομισάμεθα δὲ τὰ θαλλία παρὰ τοῦ τοῦτοῦ τοῦ Ἡρακλεί δου. Διονυτᾶς δὲ ὁ ἀδελφός μου ἤνεγκέ μοι τὸν θαλ λὸν καὶ τὴν ἐπιστολήν σου ἐκομισάμην. εὐχαριστῶ τοῖς θεοῖς πάντοτε, ἐπικετα νται δηλῶ ουπαυ μὴ ἐπιβαροῦ πέμπειν τι ἡμῖν τω ἀπὸ Θεωνᾶτος Τεθεῦτι

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.
