Ammonas to Chairemon his brother, greetings. Before all else I pray that you are in good health, and I make your obeisance before all the gods. Since you went away from us, we are grieved that you have not yet come out to us with our lord Dioskoras. Urge Dioskoras on, so that he too may come out. I greet Nennas and Besas and Pabous and Chenyris and Thetis and Italia and Chachis and Horion and K[…] and those in the house. I pray for your health.

Deliver to Chairemon […]

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.
