γράφω τῇ σῇ τιμιώτητιτιμιώτητι ἵνα μηδεμιᾶς οὔσης διαφορᾶς, ἵνα διὰ τοῦ πάκτωνοςπάκτονος τὰ εἴδη τὰ παρὰ τῷ μαγείρῳμαγίρῳ. οἶδας γὰρ καὶ ἂνκἂν μὴ γράψω ὅτι σὺν θεῷ καιρός ἐστιν τῶν χοιροθυσιῶνχυροθυσιῶν καὶ χρείαν ἔχομεν τῶν ἀρβελλαρίων καὶ τοῦ κορμίου καὶ τῆς θυείας. ὅλα γὰρ ἔχει. καὶ ὁ μάγειροςμάγιρος εἶπέν μοι ὅτι, ἐὰν ἀνέλθωμεν εἰς πόλιν, ἀγοράζομεν καὶ πέμπομέν σοι ταῦτα, καὶ οὐδὲν τούτων ἐποίησεν. καταξίωσον οὖν ποιῆσαι ἐνεχθῆναί μοι αὐτά. πάνυ γὰρ χρῄζωχρύζω αὐτῶν. ἀλλὰ ὡσαύτωςὁσαύτος φρόντισον ἵνα μετὰ σκέψεωςσκαίψεως καλῆς ἐξενέγκῃς αὐτά, λέγω δὴ ἀρβελλάρια, τὸ κορμίν, τὴν θυείαν, τὸν τριβέα. ἀπόδος τῷ κυρίῳ μου τιμιωτάτῳ ἀδελφῷ Ἰωάννῃ παρὰ Σαμουήλ.

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.
