According to a [...] goodness (?) [...]
that your body is at rest [...] I rejoice greatly. But [...] [we beseech]
God that he may grant [you] and give you the healing of your body and the health of your soul. [Let us be] worthy to hear or see your health [...] a power [...] which your God-loving self sent, the good one; we received them [...] we received them, together with all your blessings. We give thanks to you greatly
for the great offering, though we have no power to repay you
for it; but he to whom you sent it is able to heal your soul and your body. For we are not worthy
of such provision (?) [...] As you ordered, saying,
"Send me the oil of the holy altar and a little water," behold, I have sent it, and I have also sent a little piece of bread (?) in the cloth of Apa Severus. I think you have gone down to the city; take great care of it for me while I write. I greet you from the head to the soles of your feet, and I greet my beloved daughter Kyrakale greatly and all her household.
My sinful self prays that God bless her
and all her household. Behold, the little crosses I have sent
to her children.
[recto]
Greetings, greetings, greetings in the grace of the holy consubstantial Trinity. † After I had written this letter, the brothers urged me, saying, "Ask
your God-loving self: if there is a little
vinegar with you, do us the kindness." And
if it is a burden, add this goodness too to
all your other virtues.

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 118281 (see that record)
