Ἄρειος Ἀγριππίνηι καὶ Κορνηλίωι τοῖς γονεῦσι πολλὰ χαίρειν. πρὸ μὲν πάντων εὔχομαι τῷ θεῷ περὶ τῆς σωτηρίας ὑμῶν καὶ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ μου Στεφάνου. ἤδη πολλὰς ἐπιστο λὰς ὑμῖν ἔγραψα δηλῶν ὅτι μέλλω πλεῖνπλεεῖν καὶ σωθῆ ναι τῆς πόλεως τάχα δὲ περὶ τῶν ἐνθάδε γενομένων. τοιαῦτα γέγονεν οἷα οὐδέποτε ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος γέγονεν. νῦν ἀνθρωποφαγεία ἐστὶν καὶ οὐ πόλε μος οσεσττης πόλεως εὑρεθεὶς νῦν ηομλωπδεω τῷ Ἐπείφ. δηλώσει δέ σοι Αὐξάνουσα τὴν ἡμέραν ᾗ ἀναπλεύσω καὶ τὸ ὄνο μα διʼ οὗ ἐάν σοι πέμψῃ ἃ κατέλιπον τραγήματα. ἔστιν δέ. κάρυακάροια διακόσια καὶ ἰσχάδες διακοσίας καὶ γραφεῖαγραφῖα δύο . αὐτὰ λήμψῃ μετὰ καὶ ἐπιστοληης· διὸ κυρία μου μήτηρ ενακηλεον χαίρου ὅτι ἔξω τῆς πόλεώς εἰμι· ἐγὼ γὰρ ἤθελον πρὸς σὲσεν ἐλθεῖν, ἡ δὲ τῆς πόλεως ἀνθρωια οὐκ ἀφῆκέν με. ἀλλὰ ἐὰν ζῶ μεν οκαις ἄσπασαι τὸν ἀδελφόν μου Στέφανον καὶ ν σου. ἄσπασαι πρὸς ὄνομα πάντας τοὺς ὑμᾶς φιλοῦντας πολλά. ἐρρῶσθαι ὑμᾶς εὔχομαι πολλοῖς χρόνοις ουντας καὶ ὁμονοοῦντας.

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.
