† τῷ θεοφιλεστάτῳ Ἐπιφανίῳ ξ…τα[…]τος σὺν θεῷ † κόμης. ἐπέτρεψα
τῇ ὑμετέρᾳ θεοφιλίᾳ ἤτοι καὶ ᾔτησα αὐτὴν ὥστε ἀπὸ λιθοπλάκων
ποιῆσαι τὸ ὁσπίτιον σου, ὃ ἐμισθώσω καὶ τέκτονας βαλεῖν καὶ ποιῆσαι αὐτῷ
γενέσθαι καὶ μαγειρεῖον ἔσω εἰς τὴν αὐλὴν καὶ βαλεῖν σε λίθους καὶ κονίας καὶ πισσόμενα καὶ ξύλα ἀγόρασαι καὶ ἁπλῶς εἰπεῖν πάντα φιλοκαλέσαι
ἐξαιρέτως δὲ καὶ τὸ μέγα προάστιον ἐμοῦ καταλογιζομένου
πάντα τὰ δαπανήματα τὰ παρά σου γινόμενα εἰς πλήρης
καὶ συστάσεως γινομένης ἤγουν πίστεως εἰς πλήρης σοι πάντα
καταλογίζομαι μετὰ εὐχαριστίας. ἐγράφη μηνὶ Μεσορὴ ιϛ †.Translations (1)
† To the most God-beloved Epiphanios, […] with God's help, † comes. I have entrusted
your God-belovedness, or rather I have asked it, to
build with stone slabs your hospice (?), which you have leased, and to engage carpenters and have it made,
and to have a kitchen built inside the courtyard, and for you to put in stones and lime and pitch-work and to buy timber, and, simply put, to embellish everything,
and especially also the great suburban estate, with me crediting
all the expenses incurred by you in full;
and when a reckoning, that is a settlement of trust, is made, I credit everything to you in full
with thanks. Written in the month of Mesore, 16th. †

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 36232 (see that record)
