κυρίῳ μου ἀδελφῷ Κορνηλίῳ διάκονι παρὰ Σαβίνου ἐλαχίστου. πρὸ μὲν
πάντων εὔχομαι τὸν πανελεήμονα θεόν, ὅπως ὑγιαίνων ἀπολάβῃς τὴν παρʼ ἐμοῦ προσηγορίαν·
καὶ καταξίωσον προσαγορεῦσαι ὡς ἐξ ἐμοῦ τὸν ἀδελφὸν ἀββᾶ Δωρόθεον καὶ τὴν κυρίαν
τὴν μητέρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τοὺς κυρίους Μακάριον καὶ Εὐσεβῆν. γίγνωσκε δέ, ὅτι
ἀπέστειλά σοι ἀγγεῖα ἐλαίου τέσσαρα καὶ μικρὸν ἓν νομισματίων δύο καὶ κερατίων δύο
πληρατων, διὰ ἃ γεγράφηκάς μοι· καταξίωσον δὲ ἀποστεῖλαι μοι τὸ τούτων
λογάριον. καὶ ὁμοίως ἀπέστειλά σοι γαζίτια καινὰ ἐλαίου ἐννέα· καταξίωσον δὲ
παρασχεῖν τῇ μητρὶ Ἠλία γαζίτι[…] καὶ τῇ παρθενευούσῃ γαζίτιον ἓν καὶ τῷ ἀδελφῷ
Δωροθέῳ γαζίτιον ἓν καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ καταξίωσον κατασχεῖν σεαυτῷ. καὶ μάθε,
εἴ τι χρείαν ἔχει ὁ ἀββᾶ Μακάριος καὶ ἀντίγραψόν μοι· ἐὰν δὲ θέλῃ, τὸ ὁλοκοττίνιν
τοῦ σιδηρίου καταξίωσον παρασχεῖν, ὃ ἀπέστειλά σοι. καὶ καταξίωσον πανταχόθεν
δέξασθαι ὁλοκόττινα καὶ ἀποστεῖλαί μοι. ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἔγραψάς μοι διὰ τὸ
ὀγκιαρήσιον, οὔπω εὗρον καὶ σὺν θεῷ ἀποστέλλω τῇ σῇ ἁγιότητι. μνήσθητι δὲ
διὰ τὸ ξέστιν τὸ ἀσήμινον καὶ ἀπόστειλόν μοι αὐτὸ ἐκ τῆς οἰκίας τοῦ κυρίου Βίκτορος,
ὅτι ἐληθάργησα. προσαγορεύει σε ὁ σὸς δοῦλος Λυκᾶτος ὁ καὶ γράψας.
εὔχου δὲ περὶ ἐμοῦ
[v]
ἐπίδος τῷ ἁγιωτάτῳ καὶ θεοσεβεστάτῳ ἀββᾷ Κορνηλίῳ διάκονι παρὰ Σαβίνου ἐλαχίστου.Translations (1)
[recto]
To my lord brother Kornelios, deacon, from Sabinos, the least. Before all else I pray to the all-merciful God that you may receive my greeting in good health.
And be so kind as to greet on my behalf our brother Abba Dorotheos and the lady his mother and the lords Makarios and Eusebes. Know that I have sent you four jars of oil and one small one, worth 2 solidi and 2 full carats, as you wrote to me; be so kind as to send me the account for them. And likewise I have sent you nine new gazitia of oil; be so kind as to give the mother Elia […] gazitia(?) and the virgin one gazition and brother Dorotheos one gazition, and be so kind as to keep the rest for yourself. And find out whether Abba Makarios needs anything, and write back to me; and if he wishes, be so kind as to provide the solidus for the iron, which I sent you. And be so kind as to collect solidi from every quarter and send them to me. Since you wrote to me about the ounce-weight(?), I have not yet found it, and with God's help I will send it to your holiness. And remember the silver xestes-measure and send it to me from the house of the lord Viktor, because I forgot it. Your servant Lykatos, who also wrote this letter, greets you.
Pray for me.
[verso]
Deliver to the most holy and most God-fearing Abba Kornelios, deacon, from Sabinos, the least.

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.
