[recto] […] to Apollonios, the [lord?], greetings. Before all else I pray that you are in good health together with all your household. I received your letter, in which you wrote that I should inform you about Phibas, whether he had gone to Hermopolis. So I inform you, so that you may not be in doubt: he did go to Hermopolis. The gods willing, he will come for the Demetria, and he greets you, wishing you good health. Greet all your people. [Farewell.] Thoth 26. [verso] To Apollonios, strategos of 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.
