Of the bearer of the letter […]
[…]
[…] of Apollos […] ranked among the leading men of the village of Aphrodite in the Antaiopolite nome,
always cared for by your most glorious parents of renowned memory, I mean Ammonios and Ioannes and Phoibammon of everlasting memory, and not only by these but also by your most celebrated father in Constantinople,
having therefore been sent to your feet to relate to your lordship the matters concerning the holy offering of the same […]
[… 1 line lost …]
fittingly its restoration and the condition of the holy place in which it lay, which ought to be cared for by you more than by anyone, and not to allow the matter to pass to a stranger, to the ruin of the same holy place and of your offering, master.

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.
