The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

Fragmentary letter from Helladios to colleagues addressed as a 'God-protected brotherhood', asking them to store some produce, to write back, and to keep watch on the people of Sabinos' legal opponents, who had come the day before, until he writes again. It dates from the archive of Apollos, Edfu, 7th century AD.

In English machine translation

[… lines lost …] […] [your God-protected] brotherhood should make ready […] of the produce, and lock it up. But by all means it is your task […] to the one who is ill (?) for his sake. For the rest, write back to me […] the opponents of Sabinos came yesterday, that is, Mart[…] [that you watch over (?)] their people until I write to you about this […] [and I greet] you, God-protected and most magnificent ones, through this letter. † Pachon […]

The word read as 'ill' (siainomenos) is uncertain and may be a misspelling. Much of the right side of each line is lost, so the connection between the requests is unclear.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as De Helladios: à propos des adversaires de Sabinos). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
