Πατρεμπαβάθης Ἀπολλινάρι τῷ φιλτάτῳ
πολλὰ χαίρειν καὶ τὸ προσκύνημά σου ποιῶ παρὰ τοῖς

ὅτι μέλλεις καταβαίνιν.

παρὰ Ῥούφου. ἀσπάζεταί
σε Δίδυμος. σπούδασον
πέμψαι ἐκείνῳ τὸ χοιρίδιν.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.Translations (1)
Patrempabathes to his dearest Apollinaris, many greetings. I make your obeisance before the gods here, and I have heard that you are about to go down. Please, brother, do for me the things I instructed you about. Receive a bundle of vegetables from Rufus. Didymos greets you. Make haste to send him the piglet.
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.
