[recto]
Achillion to Hierakapollon his brother, greetings.
Being about to send for our sister, of necessity, through those whom I have dispatched for this purpose, I write, first greeting you and my sister and our son Dionysios, and then urging you to write to me about your well-being and about whatever you need from here. For by doing this you will do me a favour. For we shall seem through our letters to see one another.
I pray for your health.
[verso]
To Hierakapollon his brother, from Achillion, strategos of Marmarica.

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.
