Θέων Τυράννωι τῶι τιμιωτάτωι πλεῖστα χαίρειν. Ἡρακλείδης ὁ ἀποδιδούς σοι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν ἐστίν μου ἀδελφός· διὸ παρακαλῶ σε μετὰ πάσης δυνά μεως ἔχειν αὐτὸν συνεσταμέ νον. ἠρώτησα δέ καὶ Ἑρμίαν τὸν ἀδελφὸν διὰ γραπτοῦ ἀνηγεῖσθαί σοι περὶ τούτου. χαρίσειχαριεσαι δέ μοι τὰ μέγιστα ἐάν σου τῆς ἐπισημασίας τύχηι. πρὸ δὲ πάντων ὑγιαίνεινὑγιάνειν σε εὔχο μαι ἀβασκάντως τὰ ἄριστα πράττων. ἔρρωσο. Τυράννωι διοικητῇ.

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.
