From […]
† The most pious Apa Kollouthos the presbyter, who lives on the mountain of the Oxyrhynchites, has written letters to me containing a clear purport, which your brotherliness will learn when, God willing, a meeting of your excellence takes place with his piety. And I wrote back to his godliness through Makarios, our messenger (symmachos), who was sent to the Oxyrhynchite nome with the servants of the most eloquent Sarapion the scholastikos. May you therefore deign to take care and have the letters delivered, and receive a favourable answer, and have a fitting reply written, and, if need be, obtain security regarding what I have written to him and give it in turn; and besides, may letters of your prudence be sent to me, so that I may arrange myself according to what is written by it, and may you order and command whatever you need of things here. Do not hesitate, master.
[verso]
† Deliver to my master, the in all respects most admirable and virtuous brother Phoibammon, assistant (boethos) of the account office (?), from Apphous.

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.
