Ἀκύλας Σαραπίωνι χαίρειν. κομισάμενός σου τὰ γράμ ματα πάνυ ἥσθην. ᾗ μάλιστα ὁ ἡμέτερος Καλλίνεικος ἐμαρ τύρει περὶ τῆς διαίτης σου ἧς ποιῇ καὶ ἐν τοιούτοις ὢν πράγμασιν, μάλιστα μὴ ἀφιστάμενος τῆς ἀσκήσεως. ἄξιον οὖν ἐστιν ἐπαινεῖν ἑ αυτούς, οὐχ ὅτι ποιοῦμεν ταῦ τα ἀλλὰ ὅτι μὴ ἐξαγόμεθα ὑφʼ ἑαυτῶν· ἀνδραγάθει οὖν καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπιτέλεσον ὡς ἀνὴρ ἀγαθός, καὶ μή σε ταρασσέτω ἢ πλοῦτος ἢ ὥρα ἢ ἄλλο τι τῶν τοιούτωντοιουντων, ὡς οὐδὲν ὄφελός ἐστιν ἀρετῆς μὴ παρούσης, ἀλλὰ φροῦδα καὶ οὐ δενὸς ἄξια. θεῶν σωζόντων προσδέχομαί σε ἐν τῇ Ἀντινόου. τὸ σκυλάκιον πέμψον Σωτη ρίδι, ἐπεὶ αὐτὴ νῦν ἐν ἀγρῷ δια τριβειδιατρειβει. ἔρρωσοἔρρωσσο σὺν τοῖς σοῖς. ἔρρωσοἔρρωσσο. Σαραπίωνι φιλοσόφωι παρὰ Ἀκύλου φίλου.

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.
