Transcription

καὶ διὰ τοῦ πεμφθέντος μοι παρὰ τῆς ὑμετέρας προστατικῆς μεγαλοπρεπείας φύλακος γεγράφηκα αὐτῇ ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἓν ἱππάριν πεποιημένον ὑποκάτω νεωτέρου οὐκ ἔχει ὁ ἔνδοξος οἶκος, καὶ τοῦτο ἔπεμψα διὰ τοῦ γραμματηφόρου σταβλίτου. οἶδεν γὰρ κύριος, δέσποτα, εἰ μὴ τὰ ἄλλα τρία ἱπποκομικὰ οὐκ ἔχει. καὶ ἐκεῖνα γὰρ οὐ ποιοῦσιν εἰς οἱονδήποτε πρᾶγμα, εἰ μὴ εἰςὠς γομάριν, ὡς καὶ ἄλλοτεἄλλοτε γεγράφηκα αὐτῇ. δεσπότῃ ἐμῷ τὰ πάντα μεγαλοπρεπεστάτῳ πάσης τιμῆς καὶ προσκυνήσεως ἀξίῳ γνησίῳ μετὰ θεὸν προστάτῃ Θεοδώρῳ κόμετι καὶ παγάρχῳ Μηνᾶς χαρτουλάριος.

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.
