Δήμαρχος Τάορ τῇ ἀδελφῇ πλεῖστα χαίρειν. γιγνώσκεινγεινώσκειν σε θέλω ὅτι ἔγρα ψάς μοι περὶ οὗτυ ἐποίησέν μοι Ἀγατεῖνος. ἐὰν οὖν ζήσω χρόνον καὶ ἔλθω εἰς τὴν πατρίδα μου ἐκδικήσω ἐμαυ τόν. καὶ ἂνκἂν νῦν οὖν παραγ γέλλω σοι, ὦ κυρία μου ἀδελ φή, ἵνα παραβάλῃς πρὸς τῇ πλατείᾳ τοῦ θεάτρου καὶ μάθῃς περὶ τῆς φιάλης τῆς λιθίνης ἐν τῷῷ πλοίῳ καὶ παραγγείλῃς πᾶσι τοῖς ἐκεῖ, Φιλοκύρῳ καὶ Ζωσίμῳ, παρατηρεῖσθαι αὐτὴν μὴ δόξῃ αὐτῷαυτοις λαβ τῷ Ἀγα τείνῳ λαβῆσαι τὴν φιάλην, καὶεαι ἀντίγραψόν μοι διὰ τοῦ Ἀντινοέως περὶ οὗ σοι ἔπεμψα, καὶ γράψον ἐκεῖ τὸ κατʼ εἶδος ὅτι τί καὶ τίτι καί τι εἴλη φας. καὶ εἴ τινος χρῄζει ὁ Ἀν τινοεὺς παρασχήσεις αὐτῷ καὶ ἐλεύσει μετʼ αὐτοῦαυτον πρὸς τὸν Τασοιτᾶν. πέμψον τὸν μαφόρτην σου καὶ τὸ κεράμιον τοῦ γάρους καὶ δικότυλον ἐλαίου χρηστοῦ. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι. δέξαιδέξε γ σακκούδια παρὰ τοῦ Ἀντινο έως τοῦ σοι τὰ γράμματα διδόντος. ἀπόδος Τάορ τῇ ἀδελφῇ παρὰ Δημάρχου.

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.
