To my lord and patron Abinnaeus, praepositus,
Sarapion, very many greetings.
First of all I pray to divine providence for your health and well-being. Just as I said when I left you, lord, that I would meet you (?), so I am doing. So if it seems good to you, lord, to come to us, the work will be done at once; for I have inquired, and they say that it is possible.
I greet Nonna and the sweetest Constantius. I greet Martyrios. I greet Euphronios. I greet Syros the domesticus and his mother and father. I greet Maxentia and Kyriakos and Sambathia and all those in the house, each by name. I pray for your health for many years, lord patron.
[Address] Deliver to my lord and patron Abinnaeus.

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.
