Private letter via APIS-papyrus
Letter from Herakleides to Anchorimphis about trees shading the vines. A private letter from Herakleides, a landowner, to Anchorimphis, probably his farm manager, telling him to clean the willows (or similar trees) shading the vines and find a buyer for them. He also asks for sweet palm-heart because he is unwell and for a report on the work of Papos' animals. It dates to about the middle of the 3rd century AD, probably from the Arsinoite nome. machine translation

Herakleides to Anchorimphis, greetings.
Please clean the willow-trees and look for a buyer for them. If you get an offer, let me know; but if you do not find a buyer, write to me again. When they must be cut, so that the vines are not shaded, send me sweet palm-heart, since I am rather weak. Farewell. Thoth 12.
And write to me also how many animals of Papos have worked and how many [...]koras m[...] [...]nin le[...] so that the [...]ter, being in the [...] of the banquet [...]

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.
