Marcus Longinus to Neilos, his brother and fellow citizen, greetings.
I have heard that you have been ill; I pray that you are in good health. You know that we have nothing sweeter than each other in our cohort. Just now I was remembering your words, when you were telling me about […] your […] in Koptos […].
You know too that we have nothing to send you. […] greets you.
Greet Valerius Africanus.

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.
