[recto] [… lines lost …] […] For indeed we know precisely that we have been counted among these in your disposition towards us. Know that all your people and we ourselves are in good health; and we ask you to write to us, so that, having learned about your well-being, we may be cheered and cease to be anxious. I, Korellios, pray for your health for many years, my lord son. I, Didymos, pray for your health for many years, my lord patron. I, Pheidias, pray for your health for many years, my lord patron. I, Patos, pray for your health for many years, my lord patron. I, Ales, pray for your health for many years, my lord patron. We greet Dioskoros and Eudaimon and the slaves (?) with you. [verso] […] [and] of Ales and of Patos

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.
