From Alypios.
I myself wished to come to you, so that I might both inspect the little vineyard ⟦olive⟧ estates and learn about your harvest and the care of the fodder, but since certain necessary matters pressed me to go up to the city, I have sent Philippos ⟦my assistant⟧ so that he may inspect everything and report to me, who am in a hurry […]

To my lord Alypios from Heroninos, Theadelphia.

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.
