Θέων Ἀπολιναρίῳ τῶι τιμιωτάτῳ χαίρειν. εἰ μὴ ἐμάθομεν σὺν θεοῖς σε κα λῶς ἐσχηκέναι μεθʼ ἃ γράφεις πεπονθέναι, πάντα ἂν καταλιπόν τες ἐσπεύσαμεν πρὸς σέ, σοῦ γὰρ τιμιώτερον οὐδέν ἐστιν. ἀλλὰἀλλαὶ καὶ ἐνθάδε ὄντες εὐχό μεθά σοι ὑγίειανὑγείαν ἀξίῳ ὄντι. Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ κτίστης, παρα γενόμενος εὐθέως με τʼ ἄφιξίν σου καὶ καθηγηθεὶςκαθηκηθεὶς ὡς καὶ διʼ αὐτὸν ἄλλας ἡμέρας ἐπέμεινας παρʼ ἡμῖνἡμεῖν ἵνʼἵνʼ αὐτῷ συνχρονήσῃς, ἐλυπήθη ὅτι σε οὐ κατέλαβεν. καθʼ ὥραν δὲ σοῦ σὺν ἡμῖνὑμεῖν ἐμέμνητο σς ἡμᾶς τιμήσας μετὰ πλείσ της σπουδῆς κομισθῇ. τὴν οὖν τιμὴν δήλωσόν μοι ἵνα Ἀπολλωνίῳ τῷ ἀδελφῷ μετα βάλωμαι. ἀσπαάζονταί σε οἱ παρʼ ἡμῶν πάντες καὶ αἱ παρʼ ἡμῶν πᾶσαι. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι, τιμιώτατε αρως.Cross-references (3)

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 27107 (see that record)
