Σαραπίων Ἀρχελάωι
τῶι ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν.
τὸν ἱστὸν τῶν ἐπικαρσίων εἰς Ζμεῖνα
ἐκόμισα ὡς καταλαμβάνων ὑμᾶς, καὶ πάντως ἄν σοι πεπόμφειν,
εἰ μὴ Ἑρμῆς μοι ἀπήγγειλε δεδωκέναι σοι ἕτερα. οἱ σοὶ πάντες
ἔρρωνται.
εὔχομαί σε ἐρρῶσθαι,
ἄδελφε.
Ἀπολλώνιος ὁ συνγρ
Θέωνος εἰσαγωγέως
πολλά σε ἀσπάζομαι.

[recto]
Sarapion to Archelaos his brother, greetings.
The loom of the cross-threads (?) I brought to Smin, expecting to find you there, and I would certainly have sent it to you, if Hermes had not reported to me that he had given you others. All your people are well.
I pray for your health, brother.
I, Apollonios the clerk (?) of Theon the introducer (eisagogeus), send you many greetings.
[verso]
To Archelaos, secretary of Theon, strategos of the Panopolite nome.

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.
