Brief des Epaphrodeitos an Apollonios via HGV-meta
Letter from Epaphroditos to Apollonios about loaves of white bread. A letter from Epaphroditos, probably a servant or agent, to his master Apollonios, strategos of the Apollonopolite-Heptakomias district, sending greetings to Apollonios' family including his wife Aline. He explains that the white loaves Apollonios asked for could not be sent by the 26th because Dioskoros was not sailing upriver on that day, nor anyone else. It dates to AD 113-120 and belongs to the Apollonios archive from the Hermopolite region. machine translation

[recto]
Epaphroditos to Apollonios his lord, greetings.
Before all else I pray that you are in good health together with my lord Herakles son of Apollon (?) and my lady Aline, for whom I do not cease making the act of worship before the lord Hermes and before all the gods. You wrote to me about pure (white) loaves to be sent to you through Dioskoros for the 26th. I found, however, that he was not sailing up by the day you wrote to me, nor anyone else […]
[…] you wrote to me […]
[…] you wish […]

[verso]
To Apollonios, strategos.

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.
