Herodes to Apollonios his lord, greetings.
I received your letter of reminder about the works entrusted to me and being carried out, in which you make clear what befits your rank and suits your character, matters over which I, having been so instructed, ought to keep watch. That I do this without ceasing [...] the things that concern you, or the works themselves will bear witness to you when you come. Already, in accordance with your instructions, Herakleios the steward, apart from the foreign timber, has before his eyes the completion of the timber on the spot. The first bedchamber is already [...], while the Boubastian one is about [...] We did not build on top of the storerooms, since [...] are with Apollonios the assistant for clarification, if Herakleios has leisure and approves his [...] timbers. In the other bedchamber, on the tower, by order of the lady, I locked up [...], so that no one [...] the tower, unless there should be some need of the thick timbers lying at the work, for the transport alone; for I made the other (?) [...]

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.
