παρὰ Θέωνος χαῖρε Χαιρήμων. ἐὰν μάθῃς ὅτι χρείαν ἔχεις χορτοπατήματος εἰς τὴν Θῶλθιν μετένεγκον τὸ τοῦ Ἑκυσίου ἐκεῖ. ἀλλὰ πολὺ ἄχυρον παραμιγήτω ἵνα μὴ ταχέως ἀναλωθῇ· ὅταν γὰρ τὰ τοῦ πωμα ρίου οἰνάρια πραθῇ, τότε δύνασαι χορ τοπάτημα ἐκεῖ ἀγοράσαι. τάχα γὰρ εὔωνον ἔσται τοῦ ὕδατος προσβαί νοντος. μὴ ἀμελήσῃς τῆς μεταφορᾶς τοῦ ἀχύρου τῆς Θώλθεως. ἄρτι δὲ μισθὸν μὴ δίδου κτῆσι χάριν κόπρου ἄχρι τῆς ἀναβάσεως. ἵνα μὴ μισθὸν διδῷς. ἔρρωσοἔρρωσσο. ἀνάπεμψον εἰς δια ταγὴν οἴνου κεράμια ϛ ἐκ τοῦ πωμαρίου διὰ τῆς ὄνου Κοπρέως, ἀλλὰ ἤδη, καὶ ἑνὸς τῶν υἱῶν αὐτοῦ.

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.
