Δίδυμος Ἀρείῳ καὶ Διονυσίωι υἱοῖς χαίρειν. ἱκανῶς ἐνηδρεύ θημεν, ἀμελησάντων ὑμῶν περὶ τὸ πλοῖον. διὰ γὰρ τοῦτο σήμερον οὐδὲ τὰ κτήνη ἀνέπεμψα προσδο κῶν χόρτον αὐτοῖς ἐμβαλέσθαι. καὶ νῦν πορθμεῖον οὐκ εὕρομενεὕραμεν διαπερᾶσαι αὐτὰ ἀλλὰ παραβολευσά μενος ἔπεμψα αὐτὰ κολυμβω διαπεραθῆναι καὶ εἰ ἐδυνήθη ἀνενεγκεῖν αὐτὰ ευοιος. καὶ ἂνκἂν ὣς πᾶν ποιήσατε πλοῖον ἡμῖν πέμψαι ἵνα μὴ καὶ οιτοι οὓς πεποίηκασιπεποιηκαν ἀπόλωνται. μέχρι δὲ ἑκατὸν πεντήκοντα ἀγωγῆς ἔστω τὸ πλοῖον εἰ μὴ τὸ Παήσιος ἔρχεται ἢ ἐὰν ἀνάγκη ᾖ καὶ μέ χρι διακοσίων . καὶ ὅταν συντά ξησθε τῷ πλοίῳ συνθέσθε πρὸς τὸν ναύτην τέσσαρας σαρ γάνας χόρτου ἐμβαλέσθαι ἡ μῖν τοῦ ναύλου. καὶ δύο ἀγγεῖ οναγγεια ἡμῖν πέμψατε, πρὸ πάντων τὸ μικρὸν βάδιον τὸ ἐν τῷ κοιτῶ νι καὶ ἄλλο ἐν τῷ συμποσίῳ καψάκην τὸν μέγαν. καὶ τοῖς κτῆσι προσέχετε ἕως ἀνελ θῶμεν. ἰδοὺ γὰρ καὶ ὀλίγον χόρτον αὐτοῖς ἐπιδ ἐρρῶσθαι ὑμᾶς εὔχομαι πολλοῖς χρόνοις.

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.
