αἱρέσι τ φορέτροφολέτρου διανομῆς ἀρουρῶν Ἡρακλείδης Σαραπίωνι τῶι ἀξιολογωτάτῳ χαίρειν. Δημήτριος ὁ γνωστὴρ ἠξίωσέν με λέγεινλέγιν σοι ὥστε αὐτὸν ἄλυπον γενέσθαι ὑπὲρ τῶν προτέρων ἐτῶν. λέγει γὰρ ὅτι ὠφέλησα αὐτὸν μεγάλως καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀννώνῃ. λέγει δὲ ὅτι ἀννώνα νῦν ζητεῖται. εἰ οὖν πάλιν δύνῃ ἐκπλέξαι παρὰ σεαυτῷ, τύχῃ τῇ ἀγαθῇ. εἰ δὲ μή γε, ἐπίστειλον τί θέλεις ἑτοι μασθῆναι. ἀλλὰ μὴ ἀμελήσῃς, οὔπω γὰρ ἐξῆλθονἐξῆλθαν. ἐὰν ἰσχύσῃς ἄλλῳ ἐκπλέξαι, μέγα ἔργον ποιεῖς, διότι κτήνη οὐκ ἔχομεν οὐδὲ χοίρους. ἐρρῶσθαί σε ὁλοκληροῦντα 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.
