Private letter from Aphynchis, a smith, to his 'brother' Areion, a priest, reporting that four jars of oil marked with Plutarchos' name were loaded on the boat of Hierax.

Ἀφύνχις Ἀρείωνι
τῷ ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν.
πρὸ μὲν πάντων εὔχομαί
σε ὑγιαίνειν μετὰ τῶν
τέκνων σου· γιγνώσκειν
σε θέλω, ἄδελφε, ὅτι ἐνεβαλόμεθα εἰς τὸ πλοῖον Ἱέρακος τοῦ πολιτικοῦ τοῦ φίλου
σου. ὅπου ἔμενες; ἐνθάδε
ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἐλαίου βάδια τέσσαρα γίνεται δ, ἐπιγεγραμμένα δέ ἐστιν ὀνόματι Πλουτάρχου. περὶ μὲν οὖν
τοῦ ναύλου μηδὲν αὐτῷ δός.
ὀφείλει γὰρ Ἱέραξ τῷ Πλουτάρχῳ ἀργυρίου δραχμὰς
δισχιλίας ἑξακοσίας γίνονται δραχμαὶ Βχ, ἀλλὰ
μὲν οὖν τῷ Ἱέρακι
πόσον ἐστὶν τὸ ναῦλον καὶ
ἔλεγεν, ὅτι φανερόν ἐστιν.
καλῶς οὖν ποιήσεις, ἄδελφε,
λαβεῖν παρʼ αὐτοῦ τὰ τέσσαρα βάδια καὶ, ἐὰν μὲν βουληθῇς, ἐᾶσαι
αὐτὰ παρά σοι, ἕως ἔλθω πρός σε,
ἵνα μὴ πάλιν ἀπενεχθῇ.

Aphynchis to Areion his brother, greeting.
Before all else I pray that you are well together with your children. I want you to know, brother, that we loaded onto the boat of Hierax the citizen (?), your friend (where were you staying?), here at his house, four badia of oil, total 4, and they are labelled with the name of Plutarchos. So as for the freight charge, give him nothing. For Hierax owes Plutarchos 2,600 silver drachmas, total 2,600 drachmas; but [I asked (?)] Hierax how much the freight is, and he said that it is clear. So please, brother, take the four badia from him and, if you wish, leave them with you until I come to you, so that it is not carried off again.
[…]
[margin] […] Areion […] Aphynchis. Please read this little letter out to Herakleia; and leave the greater part of the badia with you until I arrive. Farewell.
[verso] Deliver to Areion, priest, from Aphynchis the smith.

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 31141 (see that record)
