κυρίῳ μου Σαραπίωνι
Κοπρίας εὖ πράσσειν.
καθώς μοι ἐνετείλω πρόνοια ἡ προσήκουσά σοι γέγονεν ἐν τοῖς οἴνοις.
ἀμεριμνεῖν οὖν κατὰ τοῦτο
τὸ μέρος ὀφείλεις. τὸν ἀδελφὸν
Ἀπολινάριον παρακατατίθεμαί σου
τῇ χρηστότητι ὅνπερ οὐδὲ αὐτὸς
ἀγνοεῖς. ἐπιδώσεις οὖν σεαυτὸν
ἐν οἷς ἐὰν σου δέηται. ᾧ καλῶς
ποιήσεις μεταβαλόμενος εἰς ἀναγκαίας μου χρείας ἀργυρίου καινοῦ
τάλαντα τέσσαρα. ἀλλὰ μὴ ἐνεδρεύσῃς τὸν σὸν Κοπρίαν. ἐπίστασαι δὲ καὶ αὐτὸς ὡς οὔκ εἰμι ἀναίσθητος.
ἐρρῶσθαίσε εὔχομαι.

To my lord Sarapion, Koprias, greetings (literally: fare well).
As you instructed me, the care befitting you has been taken in the matter of the wines. So you need have no worry on that score. I commend to your kindness our brother Apolinarios, whom you yourself also know well. So give yourself to him in whatever he may need from you. You will do well to exchange for him, for my pressing needs, 4 talents of new silver. But do not cheat your Koprias. You yourself know that I am not without sense.
I pray for your health.

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.
