Χαιρήμονα τὸν ἀναδιδόντα σοι τὸ ἐπιστόλιον τοῦτο οὐκ ἀγνοεῖς, ἄδελφε· καὶ γὰρ πέρυσι ἐπὶ τὴν παράλημψιν τῶν ἱματίων
αὐτὸν παρὰ σοὶ κατέλειψα καὶ νῦν δὲ πρὸς

παρακαλῶ ἐν πᾶσι σπουδάσαι καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν

τάχει αὐτῷ ἐπιστεῖλαι καὶ βοήθειαν δοῦναι,
ἵνα διὰ σπουδῆς ἐμβαλόμενος πᾶσαν τὴν
κριθὴν ταχέως εἰς Καινὴν παρακομίσῃ,
ἐπεὶ διὰ τὴν τοῦ πεντηκοντάποδος στύλου
καταγωγὴν πλεῖστα κτήνη ἔχομεν καὶ

[…] to the most honoured Apollonios, greetings.
You are not unacquainted, brother, with Chairemon, who delivers this letter to you; for last year too I left him with you for the receipt of the garments, and now I have sent him for the receipt of barley. I urge you to assist him in every way and to send him quickly all the barley that is in the nome under you, and to give him help, so that, loading all the barley with diligence, he may convey it quickly to Kaine, since because of the bringing down of the fifty-foot column we have very many animals and already we are almost out of barley. You will do me, brother, a very great favour in this too, if the barley arrives quickly […].
Year 3 of Hadrian Caesar the lord, […] 3.
[verso]
To Apollonios, strategos of the Heptakomia.

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.
