Φλάουιος Φιλόξενος Ἀπολλωνίωι στρατηγῶι
Ἑπτακωμίας χαίρειν.
οὐκ οἶμαι ἀγνοεῖν σε ὅτι Μάλχος ἐμός ἐστιν,
ὥστε οὕτως ἔχε πρὸς αὐτὸν ὡς πρὸς
ἴδιόν μου μέρος. τί σοι γράφω πλείονα;
οἶδας γάρ μου τὴν διάθεσιν. ἐρρῶσθαί σε βούλομαι.

[recto]
Flavius Philoxenos to Apollonios, strategos of the Heptakomia, greetings.
I do not suppose you are unaware that Malchos is my man, so treat him as you would my own household. Why should I write more to you? For you know my disposition. I wish you good health.
[verso]
To Apollonios, strategos,
from Flavius Philoxenos, epistrategos of the Thebaid

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.
