ἀπόδος Φιλήτωι ὥστε Ἡρακλείδηι.Translations (1)
Apollonia to Philetos, greetings.
I greet you warmly, and Herakleides. I have sent you through Onnophris the younger the materials for Herakleides' garment: of weft, 7 minas, by weight [...] staters [...], which are 110 bobbins (?); and warp from Lykopolis, by weight 90 staters, which are 75 balls. Of these, the price of the warp at 21 drachmas for 30 staters by weight comes to 63 drachmas, and the price of the wool of the weft 36 drachmas. There has been spent (?) on spinning, by weight, 30 staters, [...] per stater, and I from my own supply gave 10 staters by weight of wool; for the cost of the finishing (?) 4 drachmas. I have given out three minas to be spun at 1 obol per stater by weight, making 17 drachmas 5 obols, and I myself spun the other four minas and put into them black colored cord; and of these put three minas into the cloak (abolla) of the garment.
We greet you warmly. Farewell.
The warp has been soaked at my house.
Year [...], Thoth.
[verso]
Deliver to Philetos, for Herakleides.

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.
