Apollonios an den Toparchen Ammeneus via HGV-meta
Letter from Apollonios to the toparch Amenneus about the grain report. An official letter from Apollonios, evidently a senior financial administrator, to the toparch Amenneus in the Arsinoite nome, 214 BC. He orders Amenneus to come to Krokodilopolis on the 21st with the record of grain delivered to the royal granary, so that the report on measured grain can be sent off, and warns that negligence will be treated as an offence against the state. machine translation

[recto]
Apollonios to Amenneus, greeting. We shall send off the report of the measured grain on the 21st. So join us in Krokodilopolis on that day, bringing the record of what has been delivered through you to the royal granary up to the 2nd(?). And take care, not as a side matter, that this amount be as large as possible. For we shall treat those who have been negligent in any way in these matters as having wronged the interests of the administration. See to it that the dispatch of the report is not held up on your account.
Farewell. Year 8, Pachon 16.
[verso]
To the toparch Amenneus. Concerning the report.

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.
