Transcription
Ἀπολλώνιος Λέοντι τῷ ἀδελφῷ πλεῖστα χαίρειν. πρὸ μὲν
πάντων εὔχομαί σε ὑγιαίνειν.
οὐκ ἔδωκα ἀποχὴν τοῦ ἄνθρακος ὅτι Μονάτιος ἔλυσε τὸν
κόικα καὶ ἦρκε τὸ ἥμισυ αὐτοῦ.
ὁ χαλκεὺς λέγει ὧδε στομόω. λέγει δὲ περὶ ἀλοιφῶν ἵνα ἐνέγκῃς.
κατὰ τὸ ὄστρακον ὃ ἔγραψές μοι
ἐπεραίωσα.
ἔρρωσό μοι, ἄδελφε.Translations (1)
Apollonios to Leon his brother, very many greetings. Before all else I pray that you are in good health.
I did not give a receipt for the charcoal because Monatios undid the palm-leaf basket and took half of it.
The smith says this: "I am tempering (the tools) here." He also says, about the grease, that you should bring it.
I have sent it across in accordance with the ostrakon you wrote to me.
Farewell, brother.

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.
