[r] χαίροις, κύριέ μου Ἀπολλώνιε. περὶ οὗ σε παρεκάλεσα κατʼ ὄψιν, τιμιώτατε, καὶ ἐκ τύχης Ἁρποκρατίωνος ἐλθόντος πρὸς Δεῖον, συνέβαλον αὐτῷ καὶ ὑπερεθέμεθα εἰς τὴν σὴν διάγνωσιν, ἵνα, ὃ ἐπιδικαιώσῃς, τοῦτο γένηται. τὸ μὲν φανέν σοι, κύριε, δηλώσεις μοι. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι, Ἀπολλώνιε τιμιώτατε.

[recto] Greetings, my lord Apollonios. Concerning the matter about which I appealed to you in person, most honoured one, Harpokration happened to come to Deios, and I met with him, and we deferred the matter to your judgement, so that whatever you decide to be just, that will be done. So you will let me know, lord, what seems best to you. I pray for your health, most honoured Apollonios. [verso] To Apollonios, strategos of the Heptakomia

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.
