κυρίῳ μου πατρὶ Πέτρῳ
Παπνούθιος χαίρειν.
καθὼς παρατέθηκά σοι τὸ
μαρσίππιν τοῦ κέρματος,
ἀπόδος αὐτὸτῷ ἀναδιδόντι σοι ταῦτά μου
τὰ γράμματα· τῷ γὰρ ἀποσταλέντι ὑπέρ μου οὐκ ἔδωκας.
νῦν οὖν ἀπόδος αὐτὰ ἄρτι,
ὅτι ἐν ἀποδημίᾳ εἰμὶ καὶ
οὐ δύναμαι ἐλθεῖν ἐπʼ αὐτά,
χρείαν αὐτῶν ἔχων.
ἀσπάζομαί σε ἐγὼ Νιλάμμων ὁ γράψας τὴν ἐπιστολὴν καὶ πάντας τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς
κατʼ ὄνομα.Translations (1)
To my lord father Petros, Papnouthios, greetings.
Since I deposited with you the little bag of small change, give it to the one who delivers this letter of mine to you; for you did not give it to the one sent on my behalf. So now give them (the coins) at once, because I am away from home and cannot come for them, and I have need of them.
I, Nilammon, who wrote the letter, greet you and all the brothers by name.

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 33471 (see that record)
