[recto]
Papirius Apollinarius to Claudius Tiberianus, most honoured, greetings.
Before all else I pray that you are well; I too am well. I make your obeisance every day before the lord Sarapis. You wrote to me saying that Gaius has sold something. I ask you therefore, brother, to find out what he has sold, and write back to me. And about Sextus, I heard that he has died. Find out, then, who his heir is and when his will is to be opened. Greet Zotike and Kephalon and all his household, and Ptolemaios. Papiria and Hermes and Menouthos and Serapias greet you all.
[verso]
To Claudius Tiberianus, veteran, from Papirius Apollinarius.

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 27088 (see that record)
