† I received the letter sent through Severos the […], and I rejoiced to learn from it of your auspicious condition. Concerning Chomos the builder: after four days I am sending him to you with post-horses, since four days ago Papatais the agent moistened the clay so that he might rebuild a small courthouse (?) […] wondering on his account, because he had a small courthouse (?) […] and only yesterday he made a start for Papatais. And through him with Severos […] God willing, as I said, after another four days I am sending him to you. I make obeisance to your God-guarded brotherly lordship, and through you
[verso]
to our God-guarded common brother and our common children. Up to the writing of the present letter I have not sent to the […] with our common child Apa Ioannes, but also […] but also clean. I beg you to order […] that they allow to be taken away from what has been cut […] they went up to cut yesterday. So let Herakleides and Poimenis learn your intention, that you do not allow (anything) from them. † In the month Phaophi, 14. †
† To my own lords. †

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 39123 (see that record)
