τὸν σταβλίτην παραδέδωκα τοῖς ἀνασκάφοις νεωτέροις ἵνα τὸν ἵππον ὃν ἔλαβαν δώσωσιν αὐτῷ καὶ ἐπανέλθῃ μη ἐνέγκας αὐτόαὐτώ, καὶ νομίζω ὅτι τὸ μυστάριν ἤδη ἐσκότωσεν καὶ ἐκείνουςκἀκείνους. καταξιώσῃ οὖν πάντως πρὸ τοῦ τὰ ὕδατα κατακρατήσωσιν τὴν γῆν πέμψαι μοι αὐτόν, ἐπεί, ζῇ κύριος, ἐὰν συμβῇ αὐτῷ τί ποτε, παρέχεις τὴν τιμὴν αὐτοῦ. ἀπόλυσον δὲ πάντως Σερῆνον τὸν χαρτουλάριον καὶ τὸν ῥιπάριον καὶ τὸν μειζότερον, οὐδὲ γὰρ θέλω σε τοιοῦτό τί ποτε διαπράξασθαι. ἐδυνόμηνἐδεχόμην γὰρ καὶ ἐγὼκἀγὼ τοὺς ἐρχομένους ἀπὸ τῆς Κυνῶνἀπὸ Κυνῶν εἰς ὈξυρύγχωνὈξυρύγχον ποιῆσαι μηδὲ φανῆναι καὶ ὅμως οὐδὲν τοιοῦτο ἐποίησα. πέμψον δὲ ἐνταῦθα ἕνα τῶν χαρτουλαρίων ὀφείλοντα ποιῆσαι λογάριν πρὸς Ἀγρίππαν τὸν περίβλεπτον, ἵνα μάθωμεν τί χρεωστούμεθα παρʼ αὐτοῦ, ἐπειδὴ εἰς τὸ πρᾶγμα καθήμεθα. πάντως οὖν διὰ τῆς σήμερον πέμψον αὐτόν. δεσπότῃ τὰ πάντα λαμπροτάτῳ καὶ πάσης τιμῆς ἀξίῳ γνησίῳ ἀδελφῷ Γεωργίῳ διοικητῇ Βίκτωρ ἰλλούστριος σὺν θεῷ ἀντιγεοῦχος.

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.
