Lettre privée via HGV-meta
Letter to the pagarch Papas about someone in distress. Fragmentary Christian letter addressed on the back to Papas, the most magnificent pagarch. The writer speaks of travelling, of someone being in great distress amid many disturbances, and quotes the Apostle on what 'we ought' to do, apparently asking the recipient's 'God-protected brotherhood' to help. machine translation

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 39126 (see that record)
