Ἀπολινάρις Σονναῦτι τῷ ἀδελφῷ
πλεῖστα χαίρειν. καλῶς ἔχει ἡ μήτηρ σου.
ἀμερίμνει περὶ τῶν ἱματίων σου,

παρὰ τοῦ ὀνηλάτου τοῦ τὴν
πινακίδαν ἔχοντος καὶ πλῆσόν μοι αὐτὸ ὑδάτους. εὑρεῖς δὲ ἐν τῇ σαργάνῃ πεταλίαν φοινικίων ἣν ἐβάσταξα τῷ ὤμῳ μου εἰς Ραειμα.
ἦλθον καθῆσθαι. ἄσπαζε

Apollinaris to Sonnautis his brother, very many greetings.
Your mother is well. Do not worry about your clothes, I shook them out. Please take my water jar (?) from the donkey-driver who has the tablet, and fill it with water for me. You will find in the basket a leaf-bundle (?) of dates which I carried on my shoulder to Raima. I came to sit (?). Greet Demetrios.
Farewell.

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.
