τὸ ἀλίκλιον ταχύτερον πέμψαι μοι.
οἶδας ὅτι χειμών ἐστί καὶ χρεία ἐστὶν
αὐτῶν· μὴ οὖν ἀμελήσῃς· καὶ ἄν τις
σοι χρεία ἦν τῶν ἐνθάδε, δήλωσόν μοι
διὰ ἐπιστολῆς ὅπως ἀποπέμπω
σοι, εἰδὼς ὅτι ἡδέως ποιῶ· ἢ μεταδώσεις τῷ ἀδελφῷ μου. τούτου
αὐτῷ ἐντέταλμαι μὴ ἀμελεῖν. οἶδας καὶ
σὺ τὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν ὀφείλοντά μοι, ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἦν δίκαιον ὀνομάζειν αὐτὸν
διὰ ἐπιστολῆς, καὶ σὺ αὐτὸς τοσοῦτο
ποίησον, οἶδα γὰρ πῶς με φιλεῖς, τοῦ ὀχλῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐπεὶ ἐκεῖνος ἀμελής ἐστίν. ἐάν
τιπράξῃ ἀντιγράψεις μοι. ἀσπάζομαι
τὴν θυγατέρα καὶ υἱόν. ἀσπάζεταί σε Ὡριγένης καὶ Πᾶσις
καὶ Πρωτοῦς. ἔρρωσο μοι.

[…] to send me the cloak (?) quickly. You know that it is winter and there is need of them. So do not neglect it. And if you have need of anything from here, let me know by letter so that I may send it to you, knowing that I do it gladly; or you will pass it on to my brother. I have instructed him not to neglect this. You also know the man who owes me, since it was not right to name him in a letter; and you yourself do this much, for I know how you love me: trouble him, since he is negligent. If he pays anything, you will write back to me. I greet your daughter and son. Origenes and Pasis and Protous greet you. Farewell, I pray.
[verso]
Deliver to Nemesianos.

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.
