Agripp[…]s to Agrippianus his brother, greetings.
Before all else I pray that you are in good health together with all your household, and I myself am well. After leaving you I hurried a great deal, wanting to catch my boat so that I could send you the document about the veterans, and I did not catch it. But just now, having found the man going up to you, I have sent the ordinance of the […] and the petition given […] of the veterans in the Arsinoite nome. So please, brother, make it known to all the friends, so that we may not appear ungrateful. Concerning the epistrategos, as I told you […] when he goes out […] you will do nothing. Greet Agrippinus and your little girl.
Farewell, most honoured brother.
[verso]
To Agrippianus […], veteran.

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.
