ναι. πάνυ γὰρ θλίβομαι ἐπὶ
πόλεως καὶ ἴσως οὐκ ἔλαθέν σε τὸ γενόμενον.
μελέτω σοι οὖν, κύριε
ἀδελφέ, περιελθεῖν τὰ
σὰ μέρη καὶ τʼ ἀλλότρια
καὶ φύλαξαι ὡς ἀδελφὸς
καὶ ὡς πονῶν καὶ μὴ ἀνασχέσθαι τῶν ἄλλων τῶν
λογὴν μὴ ἐχόντων.
πιστεύω γὰρ ὡς οὐ μέλλεις
παριδεῖν. ἤδη δὲ κάτω
αὐτὸς ἥξομαι πρὸς σέ.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι
πολλοῖς χρόνοις
κύριε ἀδελφέ.

[…] … to be (?). For I am very much distressed in the city, and perhaps what has happened has not escaped your notice. So take care, lord brother, to go round your own parts and those of others, and keep watch as a brother and as one who toils, and do not put up with the others who have no account (?). For I trust that you will not neglect this. I myself will soon come down to you.
I pray for your health for many years, lord brother.

To 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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 30103 (see that record)
