ἡμῖν κακὸν ἐποίησεν ἀλλʼ ἐκ τῶν
ἐναντίων ἐπιμεμέληται,
περὶ ὧν, ἐὰν αἱρῆτε, γράψατέ
μοι. ἠκούσαμεν τὸν μῦν καταβεβρωκέναι τὸν σπόρον. καλῶς
ἡμῖν ὦδε, ἢ ἐν Διοσπόλει ἐὰν

[recto]
Petesouchos son of Panebchounis to Petearsemtheus and Paganis son of Panebchounis and Pathemis son of Paras and Petearsemtheus son of Hargenouphis and Petearsemtheus son of Psennesis and Horos son of Pates, greeting and good health. I myself am well, and so are Esthautis and Patous and Almentis and Phibis and Psenosiris and Phaphis and all those with us. Do not grieve over those who have been separated. They expected (?) to be killed. He did us no harm, but on the contrary has taken care of us; about which, if you wish, write to me. We have heard that the mouse has eaten up the seed. It is good for us here; or, if you prefer, come to Diospolis to buy wheat. For the rest, you would do me a favour by taking care of yourselves so that you stay healthy. Horos and Petosiris are well.
Farewell. Year 19, Pachon 8.
[verso]
From Petesouchos son of Nebchounis, to Petearsemtheus son of Nebchounis.

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.
