ἄπα Μιὸς τῷ ἀγαπητῷ
ἀδελφῷ Ἀμιννέῳ ἐν κυρίῳ χαίρειν.
πρὸ τῶν πάντων εὔχομαι τῷ
θεῷ περὶ τῆς σωτηρίας σου.
καθὼς ἔγραψας περὶ σπαθίων οἴνου, ὡς δύο καμήλων
ἢ τριῶν εὐκαιρίαν εὑρὼν
τοὺς περὶ Ἀπολλώνιον
ἠξίωσα αὐτοὺς καὶ ἠνάγκασα αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔπεμψά
σοι· ἵνα οὖν πληρώσῃς
αὐτοὺς τὴς τιμὴν καὶ
αὐτῆς τῆς ὥρας ἀπολύσῃς αὐτοὺς, διότι οἶδας
καὶ αὐτὸς ὅτι ἑορτή ἐστιν,
καὶ ἐδεήθησάν με πολλήν. μὴ κατασχῇς οὖν αὐτοὺς διὰ ἄλλην ἡμέραν.
οὐχ εἶχονἐμαυτῷ
ἀποκείμενα ὅσον οὖν ἔμαθα ὅτι οὐκ ἔχεις πέμψω σοι, καὶ ἐὰν
ἔλθωσι πρὸς σὲ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ
ποιήσῃς αὐτοῖς τὸ
ζμῆμα γενέσθαι καὶ πέμψῃς.
ἀσπάζομαί σε καὶ πάντας
τοὺς ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ σου, καὶ ἐὰν εὐσχολῇς ἐλθὲ πρὸς ἡμᾶς
ἵνα σε ἴδωμεν, ὁ θεὸς δὲ
διαφυλάξῃ σε. ἄπα Μιῶς.
ἀσπάζομαι Σῦρον καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτοῦ.
τῷ ἀγαπητῷ ἀδελφῷ Ἀμιννέῳ ἄπα ΜιόςTranslations (1)
Apa Mios to his beloved brother Aminneus, greetings in the Lord.
Before all else I pray to God for your well-being.
As you wrote about spathia of wine, having found an opportunity of two or three camels, those of Apollonios' party, I asked them and pressed them and sent them to you. So pay them the price and release them at that very hour, since you know yourself that it is a feast day, and they begged me earnestly. So do not detain them for another day. I did not have any laid by for myself; so as soon as I learn that you do not have any, I will send to you, and if the brothers come to you, have the mixture (?) made for them and send it.
I greet you and all those in your house, and if you have leisure, come to us so that we may see you, and may God protect you. Apa Mios.
I greet Syros and all those in his house.
[address] To the beloved brother Aminneus, Apa Mios.

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.
