Ἄνδρων Μίλωνι τῷ ἀδελφῶι χαίρειν. εἰ ἔρρωσαι καὶ τὰ λοιπά σοι κατὰ λόγον ἐστίν, εἴη ἂν ὡς ἐγὼ
θέλω· ὑγίαινον δὲ καὶ αὐτός. παραγενομένου Σανῶτος ἐκομισάμην τὴν παρὰ σοῦ ἐπιστολήν,
ἣν ἀναγνοὺς ἐχάρην ἐπὶ τῶι με αἰσθέσθαι τὰ κατὰ σέ. ἐγὼ οὖν ἐπυνθανόμην τοῦ Σανῶτος,
εἴ τι βούλοιτο ἐν τοῖς καθʼ ἡμᾶς τόποις, ὁ δὲ ἐπῄνει μόνον, ἐπέταξεν δʼ οὐθέν. περὶ δὲ τῶν εἴκοσι
δραχμῶν οὔπω ἐκεκόμιστο Φίλων, Πιστοκλῆν γὰρ οὐχ εὑρήκειμεν. περὶ δὲ τοῦ οἰναρίου Πραξιάδης οὔπω εἰσελήλυθεν ἐξ ἀγροῦ, οὐκ οἶμαι δ αὐτὸν ἔχειν ἐξ ὧν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ ἀνήγγελλεν.
εὐχαριστήσεις οὖν μοι σαυτοῦ τε ἐπιμελόμενος καὶ μὴ ὀκνῶν γράφειν ἡμῖν καὶ τί ἄν σοι ποιοῦντες
χαριζοίμεθα.

[recto]
Andron to Milon his brother, greetings. If you are well and everything else is going as it should for you, it would be as I wish; I too am in good health.
When Sanos arrived I received the letter from you, and on reading it I was glad to learn how things stand with you. So I asked Sanos whether he wanted anything in our parts, but he only expressed his thanks and gave no instructions. As for the 20 drachmas, Philon had not yet received them, for we had not found Pistokles. As for the bit of wine, Praxiades has not yet come in from the country; I do not think he has it, judging from what his mother reported.
You will oblige me, then, by taking care of yourself and not hesitating to write to us about whatever we might do to please you.
Farewell. Year 25, Mesore 18.
[verso]
To Milon.

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.
