[recto] Chairemon to Apollonios, his dearest, greetings. In another letter too I asked you to send me what is lacking from my private account, since I myself am in need. So I ask you to give them to Deios, who will testify something to you under oath. I think that he will certainly do so. And send me through Deios 4 dichora of wine. The gods willing, I myself will soon greet you [...] your children, with whom farewell. Phaophi 16 [verso] To Apollonios, the dearest [...]

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.
