Letter [22 AD]
Description
Letter from Sarapion in Alexandria to his brother Dorion seeking information about the searching of his house and that of another, which seems to have taken place as the result of a case in which Sarapion is involved. He informs his brother that he is being urged to enter the household of the chief attendant at the prefect's court, which would strengthen his position at the trial. He notes that two officials in the retinue of the strategos are under arrest by order of the prefect until the session commences

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
- 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 — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
