τῷ δεσπότῃ μου καὶ ἀγαπητῷ ἀδελφῷ Ἀβιννέῳ πραιποσίτῳ Κάορ πάπας Ἑρμοῦ πόλεως χαίρειν. ἀσπάζομαι τὰ παιδία σου πολλά. γινώσκειν σε θέλω, κύριε, περὶ Παύλου τοῦ στρατιώτου περὶ τῆς φυγῆς συνχώρησε αὐτῷ τοῦτο τὸ ἅπαξ ἐπειδὴ ἀσχολῶ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς σὲ αὐταὶ ἡμέραι. καὶ πάλιν ἄν μὴ παύσεται ἔρχεται εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου ἄλλο ἅπαξ. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι πολλοῖς χρόνοις, κύριέ μου ἄδελφε.

To my master and beloved brother Abinnaeus, praepositus, Kaor, papas of Hermoupolis, greetings. I greet your children many times. I want you to know, lord, about Paul the soldier, about his desertion: forgive him this one time, since I am too busy to come to you these days. And again, if he does not stop, he will come into your hands another time. I pray for your health for many years, my lord brother.

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.
