[r] Α[…]υλος Ὡρείωνι τῶι τιμιωτάτωι χαίρειν. ἐγὼ μὲν ἐχόμενος τῆς εἰς σὲ ἀεὶ στοργῆς πολλάκις σοι ἐπέστειλα, σὺ δὲ οὐδʼ ἅπαξ κατηξίωσάς με γραμμάτων. οὐ μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ διὰ Ἡρακλείδου καὶ Σακαννάρου πεμφθέντα ὡς μετέδωκάν μοι, οὐδὲ καὶ ὣς ἔσχον. εὖ οὖν ποιήσεις, ἄδελφε, ἐπιστείλας μοι περί τε τῆς σωτηρίας σου καὶ τῶν σῶν πάντων, καὶ ὧν ἕνεκα ἐνχρῇζεις, καὶ τίνα τρόπον διάγεις, καὶ περὶ τῆς πράξεως, ἵνʼ ἡσθῶ· ἡ γὰρ εὐπραγία σου κοινή ἐστιν εὐτυχία. ἀσπάζομαι τὸν πατέρα Ἰσχυρίωνα καὶ τὰ ἀβάσκαντα τεκνία καὶ τὴν ἀγαθήν σου ἀδελφὴν καὶ Θέωνα καὶ Πατερμούθιον καὶ τοὺς φίλους ἡμῶν κατʼ ὄνομα. ἐρρῶσθαι καὶ ὁλοκληρεῖν σε εὐδοξοῦντα καὶ εὐτυχοῦντα καὶ εὐπραγοῦντα θεοῖς πᾶσι εὔχομαι. [v] Ὡρείωνι φίλῳ παρὰ Α[…]ύλου.

[recto] A[…]ulos to the most honoured Horion, greetings. I, holding fast to my constant affection for you, have often written to you, but you have not even once thought me worthy of a letter. Not only that, but also the things sent through Herakleides and Sakannaros, as they informed me, not even so did I receive them. Please, then, brother, write to me about your health and that of all your household, and about whatever you need, and how you are getting on, and about your business, so that I may be glad; for your prosperity is a common good fortune. I greet father Ischyrion and the children, whom the evil eye spare, and your good sister and Theon and Patermouthis and our friends by name. I pray to all the gods that you are well and in full health, enjoying good repute, good fortune and success. [verso] To Horion, friend, from A[…]ulos.

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.
