Ταορσενοῦφις Ἰσίῳ τῇ μητρὶ
πολλὰ χαίρειν.
πρὸ μὲν πάντων εὔχομαί σε ὑγιαίνειν καὶ τὸ προσκύνημά σου ποιῶ παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ Σαράπιδι. καλῶς ποιήσεις τὸ ἐπιβάλλον ὑμῖν τοῦ καρποῦ τοῦ ἀμπελῶνος δοῦναι αὐτὸ τῇ ἀδελφῇ σου καὶ σταφύλιον. ἔπεμψα ὑμῖν γ ζεύγη φιαλῶν, σοὶ α καὶ Πετεσούχῳ α
καὶ τοῖς γαμβροῖς τῆς ἀδελφῆς
σου α, καὶ μικρὸν ποτήριον Θεονᾶτι τῷ μικρῷ καὶ ἄλλο τῇ θυγατρὶ τῆς ἀδελφῆς σου· καὶ ἐὰν λάβητε φακὸν πέμψαι ἐμοὶ διὰ Κατοίτου.

[recto]
Taorsenouphis to Isio her mother, many greetings.
Before all else I pray that you are in health, and I make your obeisance before the lord Sarapis. Please give the share of the fruit of the vineyard that falls to you to your sister, and a small bunch of grapes too. I have sent you 3 pairs of bowls, 1 for you and 1 for Petesouchos and 1 for the in-laws of your sister, and a small cup for little Theonas and another for the daughter of your sister. And if you get lentils, send them to me through Katoites.
[verso]
From Taorsenouphis to her mother.

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.
