Θερμοῦθις Ἀγριππίνωι τῶι
ἀδελφῶι πλεῖστα χαίρειν.
πρὸ μὲν πάντων εὔχομαί σε
ὑγιαίνειν. γίνωσκε ὅτι ἦλθε Φαῆσις ἔχων Σατουρνῖλον.
εἰς κάραν δὲ ἐρωτηθείς, ἄδελφε,
ἀγόρασόν μοι καί σοι ἄλλας δύο
λίτρας χρίματος. ἔτι γὰρ καὶ
Ἰουλιανῷ ἔγραψα ἵνα καὶ αὐτὸς
ἄλλας δύο ἀγοράσῃ καὶ στροβίλους
δέκα , ἀλλὰ εὐθέως ἐὰν πέμπηται. γινώσκεις δὲ τὰ ἔχοντά μοι. Τάσμη οὐκ ἤμελλέ σοι
γράφειν. ἄσπασαι τοὺς σοὺς πάντας.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.

[recto]
Thermouthis to Agrippinos her brother, very many greetings.
Before all else I pray that you are well. Know that Phaesis came bringing Satornilus.
Having been asked (?) for a head (?), brother, buy for me and for you another 2 litras of ointment. For I have also written to Julianus so that he too may buy another 2 and 10 pine cones, but at once if they are being sent. You know my circumstances. Tasme was not going to write to you. Greet all your people.
I pray for your health.
[verso]
To Julius Agrippinos from Thermouthis his sister.

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 27304 (see that record)
