[...]. I will work the wool as you wrote to me; but tell me by letter what colour pleases you, or send a small piece of work of it. If you want your fine white robe to be put on, see to the purple. I received an oracle from the Dioskouroi of your estate, and their shrine has been built, and Areios the statue-maker serves them and said: 'If Apollonios writes to me about them, I will serve them free of charge.' So you will see that a two-line letter is written to him, so that he may attend to them unhesitatingly in a manner worthy of you and the gods.
Your children are well and greet you. Write to us continually about your health. All that you have, Diskas, send [...]
[...]
[verso]
To Apollonios her brother.

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.
