[…] brother […] […] your […]. Heraidous greets you, and Hemou[…] […]etes and Helene and Tinoutis and her papa and everyone in the house, and the mother of the sweetest Heraidous. The little pigeons and chicks, which I am not accustomed to eat, send […] to the teacher of Heraidous, whom Helene, the mother of Apollonios, urged to keep her son Hermaios in hand. Whatever I never ate from you […] (?), send to the teacher of my daughter, so that he may take pains over her. I pray for your health. Choiak 17.

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.
