Brief des Isaios via HGV-meta
Letter from Isaios to his brother Apollonios. A private Christian letter from Isaios to his 'brother' Apollonios, apologizing that neither has written, explaining he expected Apollonios back after hearing he had reached Antinoopolis and the Arsinoite nome, and asking about his health and his relations with his father-in-law. The latter part, mentioning a papas (cleric), is badly damaged. machine translation

Greetings, my lord brother Apollonios, in the Lord, from Isaios.
I cannot, brother, blame you for your neglect in writing letters; for I am conscious that I myself am guilty of the same charge. But I held back in the hope that you would return soon, since I heard that you had reached first Antinoou (Antinoopolis) and then as far as the Arsinoite nome. And now, lord brother, continually […] about your well-being, and how things stand for you with your father-in-law.

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 31943 (see that record)
