Ἀπολλώνιος Ἀπολλωνίωι τῶι
τιμιωτάτωι χαίρειν.
γενόμενος ἐν Λύκων πόλει τῆι β
καὶ λαβών σου τὰ ἐπιστόλια ἥσθην,
ἄδελφε, ἐπὶ τῶι σε ἐρρῶσθαι μετὰ
τῶν σῶν, τοῦτο γάρ μοι διʼ εὐχῆς
ἐστιν. Πλουτίωνα παρεπιδημοῦντα οὐχ εὗρον, λέγεται δὲ τὸ ἐντόλιόν
σου ἀπηρτικέναι. τοῦτο οὖν εὐθέως,
ἐὰν παραγένηται, ἀναπεμφθήσεταί σοι. περὶ δὲ τοῦ μὴ παραγεγενῆσθαι με πρὸς σὲ παρακαλῶ συνγνῶναί μοι, τὰ γὰρ μετέωρα παρακατέσχέ με. μεθʼ ἡμέρας δὲ ὀλίγας, ἐὰν οἱ
θεοὶ σώζωσι, παρέσομαι πρὸς σέ.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι,
κύριέ μου Ἀπολλώνιε,
μετὰ τῶν ἀβασκάντων σου
παιδίων. ἔρρωσο.

[recto]
Apollonios to the most honoured Apollonios, greetings.
Having been in Lykopolis on the 2nd and having received your letters, I was glad, brother, that you are well with your family, for this is what I pray for. I did not find Ploution staying there, but your commission (?) is said to have been completed. So this will be sent up to you at once, if he arrives. As for my not having come to you, I beg you to forgive me, for pending business kept me back. But in a few days, if the gods keep us safe, I will be with you.
I pray for your health, my lord Apollonios, together with your children, may the evil eye spare them. Farewell.
[verso]
To Apollonios, strategos of the Apollonopolite 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.
