Γάιος Ἀντώνιος Λογγίνωι
Κρίσπῳ τῷ ἀδελφῷ χαίρειν·
ἀπέσταλκά σοι χίλωμα τὸ σὸν διὰ
Δώρου ἱππέως καὶ ζεύγη ἄρτου τρία,
καὶ οὐκ ἀντέγραψάς μοι. εἰ ἐκομίσου,
ἀντίγραψόν μοι. καὶ ἀπέσταλκάς
μοι ἐπιστολὴν ἣν οὐχ εὗρον διελθεῖν, καὶ εἰ ἤκουκας περὶ σουκκεσσόρων ἀκριβέστατα, γράψον
μοι. μὴ οὖν ἄλλως ποιήσῃς, ἄδελφέ μου. ἀσπάζου τοὺς ἐκεῖ
πάντας κατ’ ὄνομα.
ἔρρωσο. ια.Translations (1)
Gaius Antonius to Longinus Crispus his brother, greetings.
I have sent you your fodder (?) through Doros the cavalryman, and 3 pairs of loaves of bread, and you did not write back to me. If you received them, write back to me. And you sent me a letter which I could not manage to read through; and if you have heard anything very precise about the successors, write to me. So do not do otherwise, my brother. Greet everyone there by name.
Farewell. 11th.

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.
