Σερῆνος Ἀπολιναρίῳ
τῷ πατρὶ πολλὰ χαίρειν. πρὸ παντὸς εὔχομαί σε ὑγιαίνειν. τὸ
προσκύνημά σου ποιῶ
παρὰ πᾶσι τοῖς θεοῖς.
ἐκομισάμην παρὰ Πτολεμινου μῆλα ξγ καὶ
παρὰ τῆς γυναικὸς Σερήνου ἄλλα ια, καὶ γινώσκειν σε θέλω, ὅτι πάντα
ἠφάνισται καὶ οὐκ εὕρηκα δῶναι οἷς ἔγραψές μοι, ἄλλὰ ἠγόρακα,
ἵνα πέμψω αὐτοῖς. καὶ
γινώσκειν σε θέλω, ὅτι
καθʼ ἡμέραν ὑπάγω παρὰ
Σεραπιάδα τὴν ζυτόπωλιν καὶ οὐ δίδωσι μοι, ἀλλὰ καθʼ ἡμέραν λέγει, ὅτι σήμερον αὔριον. καθʼ ἡμέραν
τὰ αὐτὰ. καὶ ἂν κείρηται Εἰσίδωρος, τί θέλεις ἀπενέγκω αὐτῷ; καὶ οὔπω δέδωκε Εἰρηναῖς τοὺς ἑπτὰ
στατῆρας. ἀσπάζεταί
σε Εἰρηναῖς καὶ Μαρεῖνος
καὶ Διογένης καὶ Σερῆνος καὶ κυρία καὶ Ὡρίων
καὶ Ἀφροδισία.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.
Μεσορὴ ϛ.

Serenus to Apollinarius, his father, many greetings. First of all, I pray that you are well. I make offerings for you before all the gods. I have received from Ptolemy, son of Ptolemy, forty-three apples, and from the wife of Serenus, another eleven. And I want you to know that everything has disappeared and I have not found anything to send as you wrote to me, but I have bought [something], in order to send it. And I want you to know that every day I go to Serapiada the beer-seller, and she does not give me, but every day she says, "Today, tomorrow." Every day the same. And if Isidorus shaves himself, what do you want me to bring him? And Irina has not yet given over the seven staters. Irina greets you, and so do Marinus, Diogenes, Serenus, Kyrilla, Orion, and Aphrodisia. I pray for your health. Mesorê 16th. Deliver to Apollinarius, your soldier, from Serenus, son.

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.
