παρὰ ην τῆς ὑμετέρας ἀδελφότητος κύριος οὕτω ἑτερ τα. χαρίζεται οὖν τὸ ὑμέτερον μέγεθος γράφειν περὶ τῆς ὑγίειαςὑγίας αὐτοῦ τ τοῦ οἴκου ἔγνων καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ εὐχαρίστησα τὰ ἄλλα. διὸ παρακαλῶ ὑμᾶς ποιῆσαι τὴν μίσθωσιν ὀνόματί μου, ὅλου μέντοι τοῦ οἴκου, οὐ γὰρ δύναμαι τὸ μέρος τοῦ κυρίου Ἰωάννου λαβεῖν μὴ ἔχων τὸ ἄλλο μέρος. προσκυνηθέντες ἐξ ἐμοῦ προσειπεῖν καταξιώσατε τὸν εὐλαβέστατον οἰκονόμον καὶ ὑπομνῆσαι τὴν αὐτοῦ θεοφιλίαν διὰ τὰ ὀλίγα μου καλανδικά, περὶ ὧν καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον ὑπέσχετό μοι εἰρηκὼς τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ περιβλέπτῳ λαμπρότητι ὡς ταῦτα ἀποκρότως ὑμῖν ἔχει δοθησόμενά μοι διʼ ὑμῶν. διὰ δὲ τοῦτο ἔγραψα διότι ἀναλώματα ἐνταῦθα ποιήσας ὀνειροπολῶ ταῦτα. καὶ ἐνταύθα ὤν, πολλὰ τὰ ἴχνη ὑμῶν προσκυνῶ. τὰ δὲ κεφαλωτὰ εὑρίσκων πλοίου πέμπω κατὰ τὴν ὑμετέραν κέλευσιν. vestiges

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.
