[recto]
Lucius to Apolinarios his brother, greeting.
Since, now that Zopyros has died, there are those lying in wait for Tais, daughter of Amphithales, and you once spoke to me about this, I am letting you know so that, if you approve, you may act before you are forestalled; for the son of Sebasteinos has no mother either.
If you are making salted fish for yourself, send a jar to me too. Greet the children from me and from Isidorion.
I pray for your health.
[verso]
To Apolinarios.

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.
