τῷ κυρίῳ μου Φλαβιανῶι Δημήτριος χαίρειν. ὡς ἐν ἄλλοις πλείστοις νῦν ἔτι μᾶλλον ἡ πρὸς σὲ τοῦ δεσπότου θεοῦ γνῶσις ἀνεφάνη ἅπασιν ἡμῖν ἐν τῷ τὴνὥστε τὴν κυρίαν ἀνασφῆλαι ἐκ τῆς καταλαβούσης αὐτὴν νόσου, καὶ εἴη διὰ παντὸς ἡμᾶς χάριτας ὁμο λογοῦντας διατελεῖν ὅτι ἡμῖν ἵλεως ἐγένετο καὶ ταῖς εὐχαῖς ἡμῶν ἐπένευσεν διασώσας ἡμῖν τὴν ἡμῶν κυρίαν· ἐν γὰρ αὐτῇ πάντες τὰς ἐλπίδας ἔχομεν. συνγνώμην δέ, κύριέ μου, σχοίης μοι καὶ εὔνους ἀποδέξει με εἰ καὶ ἐς τηλικαύτην σε ἀγωνίαν ἄκων ἐνέβαλον γράψας περὶ αὐτῆς ὅσα ἔπαθενἐκομίσω. τὰ μὲν γὰρ πρῶτα ἐν θλίψει αὐτῆς πολλῇ οὔσης οὐκ ὢν ἐν ἐμαυτῷ ἀπέστειλα Πλούταρχονσπουδάζων εἴ πως ἐκ παντὸς τρόπου δυνηθείης πρὸς ἡμᾶς ἀφικέσθαι, τοῦτο τοῦ καθήκοντος ἀπαιτοῦντος· ὡς δὲ ἐπὶ τὸ ῥᾷον ἔδοξεν τετράφθαι ἕτερά σε γράμματα ἐπικαταλαβεῖν ἐσπούδασα διὰ Εὐφροσύνου ἵνα σε εὐθυμότερον καταστήσω. νὴ γὰρ τὴν σὴν σωτηρίαν, κύριέ μου, ἧς μάλιστά μοι μέλει, εἰ μὴ ἐπινόσως ἐσχήκει τὸ σωμάτιον τότε ὁ υἱὸς Ἀθανάσιος αὐτὸν ἂν ἀπέστειλα πρὸς σὲ ἅμα Πλουτάρχῳ ἡνίκα ἐβαρεῖτο τῇ νόσῳ. νῦν δὲ πῶς πλείοναπλίονα γράψω περὶ αὐτῆς ἀπορῶ, ἔδοξεν μὲν γὰρ ὡς προεῖπον ἀνεκτότερον ἐσχηκέναι ἀνακαθεσθεῖ σα, νοσηλότερον δὲ ὅμως τὸ σωμάτιον ἔχει. παρα μυθούμεθα δὲ αὐτὴν ἑκάστης ὥρας ἐκδεχόμε νοι τὴν σὴν ἄφιξιν. ἐρρῶσθαί σε, κύριέ μου, διὰ παντὸς τῷ τῶν ὅλων δεσπότῃ εὔχομαι. Φαρμοῦθι ϛ. Φλαβιανῶι Δημήτριος.Connections

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.
