Ἀντώνις Ἀποληείῳ καὶ Οὐαλεριᾶτι ἀμφοτέροις χαίρειν καὶ διὰ παντὸς ὑγιαίνειν. πρὸ μὲν πάντων σε
ἀσπάσατε διὰἐπιστολῆς. καλῶς οὖν ποιήσετε μελήσετε ἡμῖν περὶ τῶν ἁλουργῶν τῶν δύο, ἵνα μὴ ἄλλος ἐξενείκῃ αὐτὰ
καὶ τὰ ἱμάτια τὰ σουβρίκια καὶ
τὸ παλλιόλιον αὐτῶν. καὶ ἐρωτήσατε Ἀπίνα περὶ τῶν φαινολῶν, καὶ ἐρωτήσατε αὐτὸν ὅτι πόσον δαπανήσουσιν ὕφαντρα.
καὶ καταβάτω Ἀτωλησσία ἡ Ἰσωτᾶ. γράψω ἐπιστολήν. καταβάτω εἷς ἐξ ὑμῶν. ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς
Θερμουθᾶς πολλὰ πολλὰ καὶ μέμφεταί σε πολλὰ ὅτι οὐ πέμπεις αὐτῇ ἐπιστολὴν καὶ τὴν ἀντιφώνησιν.
ἔτους β Αὐτοκράτορος Νέρουα Τραιανοῦ Σεβαστοῦ
Γερμανικοῦ, Μεχὲρ ιζ. καὶ τὸ πάλλιον Δάφνης πέμψατε αὐτῇ.

[recto]
Antonius to Apuleius and Valerias, both, greetings and continual good health. Before all else, greet each other (?) by letter. Please, then, take care for us of the two purple garments, so that no one else carries them off,
and the subricia cloaks and
their little pallium. And ask Apis about the cloaks (phainolai), and ask him how much the weavers' wages will cost.
And let Atolessia daughter of Isotas come down. I will write a letter. Let one of you come down. Thermouthas greets you very, very much and blames you greatly because you do not send her a letter and the reply.
Year 2 of Imperator Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus, Mecheir 17. And send Daphne's pallium to her.
[verso]
Deliver to Apuleius.
Deliver to Valerias.

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.
