ἀπόδος Ἀπολιναρίῳ.
Λονγεῖνος Ἀπολινάρις
Ἀπολιναρίῳ τῷ ἀδελφῷ μου
καὶ κυρίῳ πλεῖστα χαίρειν καὶ διὰ παντὸς
ὑγιαίνειν· καλῶς ποιήσεις, κύρι’ ἄδελφέ μου,
πέμψον μοι Σαραπιάδα μετὰ Τιβεριάτι
ὅτι χρῄζω αὐτῆς· εἰ μὲν θέλεις ἀφεῖναι
αὐτὴν σεαυτῷ ὅλον τὸν μῆνα, ἄφες
καὶ οὐδείς ἐστι χαλκός· εἰ μὲν θέλεις αὐτὴν
μισθῶσαι παρὰ σοι, πέμψον μοι τὰς δραχμὰς οε
καὶ γράψον μοι ὅτι ἔχω αὐτὴν ὡς ἐπίτροπος ·
εἰ μὲν ηὕρηκες μίσθωμα αὐτῇ εἰς Διδύμους,
ἀσφάλισον σεαυτῷ λίαν παρὰ πιστὸν ἄνθρωπον
ἵνα μὴ αὐτὴν ὑβρίσωσιν· ἐὰν ποιῄσεις μοι
μικρόν τι, ἀνταποδώσω σοι καὶ πάντοτε
ἔχω τὴν ἐξουσίαν σου ὡς ἀδελφόν·
γράψον μοι περὶ τῆς σωτηρίας σου·
ἄσπασαι Μάξιμον καὶ Τιβερίαν
καὶ Σκνῖφιν καὶ Βαρβάραν
ἔρρωσο.Translations (1)
Deliver to Apollinarios.
Longinus Apollinaris to Apollinarios, my brother and lord, very many greetings and wishes for constant good health. Please, my lord brother, send me Sarapias with Tiberias (?), because I need her. If you want to keep her for yourself the whole month, keep her, and there is no charge. If you want to hire her out where you are, send me the 75 drachmas and write to me that I have her as guardian. If you have found a hiring for her at Didymoi, secure yourself thoroughly with a trustworthy man, so that they do not abuse her. If you do me some small favour, I will repay you, and I always have your authority as a brother. Write to me about your well-being. Greet Maximus and Tiberia and Sknipis and Barbara.
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.
