καὶ νῦν τὴν εὐκαιρίαν τοῦ γραμματηφόρου σταβλίτου εὑρὼν ἀναγκαῖον ἡγησάμην καὶ γράψαι, τοὺς τιμίους πόδας τῆς ὑμετέρας ἐνδόξου μετὰ θεὸν προστασίας ἀσπαζόμενος, παρακαλῶν αὐτὴν γράφειν μοι τὰ περὶ τῆς σὺν θεῷ εὐκαιροτάτηςεὐκαιοτάτης αὐτῆς ὑγιείας, ἐπειδή, ὡς οἶδεν ὁ θεός, ἐν πολλῇ φροντίδι εἰμὶ ἐγνωκὼς ὅτι ἐπὶ τὴν Κόμα καὶ ἐπὶ ἄλλονἄλλων τόποντόπων ἐξῆλθεν. εἰκοσιοκτὼ δὲ δέματα ἐλαιοσπαράγων πρὸς τὸν καιρὸν ἔπεμψα εἰς λόγον τῆς εὐλογημένης ταύτης τραπέζης, καὶ παρακαλῶ αὐτὴν ἀντιγράψαι μοι περὶ τῆς τούτων ἀποδόσεωςἀποδώσεως. καθὼς δὲ καὶ ἐν ἑτέροις γράμμασιν γεγράφηκα αὐτῇ δύο Κρομμυδιῶταιδύο, Κρομμυδίῳ γὰρ ἤνεγκαν ἵππον εἰς τὴν Κυνῶν καὶ ἔστιν παρὰ Θεοδώρῳ τῷ μειζοτέρῳ τῷ ἐκεῖ διὰ τὸ μὴ δύνασθαι τέως τοῦτον ἐνεχθῆναι ἐνταῦθα. δεσπότῃ ἐμῷ τὰ πάντα τιμῆς ἀξίῳ γνησίῳ μετὰ θεὸν ε ἀδελφῷ Σαρμάτῃ ἀντιγεούχῳ Νεῖλος ὑμέτερος δοῦλος.

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.
