[recto] Epaphroditos to Apollonios his lord, greetings. Before all else I greet you and Aline the lady and your children. I want you to know that Arsinoe sent to me about the two talents, saying they are ready. So write who is going to receive them, and send the 3 letters at the same time; but if you do not have the letters in hand, write a note to her. Anaxagoras your brother-in-law is selling 30 arouras at Sinape, among which is the orchard east of your 3 arouras, of which you intend to plant 6 arouras in vines. He also has from […] your […] other […] has towards […] […] […] […] three […] […] so that you may be rich forever. I want […] ⟦with your consent⟧ to buy these; and take counsel too about the arouras at Koussai, since there are rotten (?) parts in them. If you inquire about the works, I am not neglecting them. The children greet you. Farewell, lord. Epeiph 17. [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.
