τὴν εὔκλειαν ὑμῶν κατὰ τῆς ἀχράντου Τριάδος καὶ τῆς ὑμῶν
σωτηρίας καὶ τοῦ ἀνικήτου ἡμῶν καὶ κρατίστου βασιλέως
μὴ παρορᾶν ἡμᾶς θλιβομένους καὶ καταπονουμένους
ἐν οἵῳ δήποτε πράγματι. πρὸς ὑμᾶς γὰρ τὴν ὁρμὴν ἡμῶν
πεποιήκαμεν ἐκδεχόμενοι τὸ ὑμέτερον ἔλεος καθάπερ οἱ
ἐν τῷ Ἅϊδῃ ἐξεδέχοντο τὴν τοῦ Χριστοῦ παρουσίαν, δέσποτα
ἐνδοξότατε στρατηλάτα δοῦξ Αὐγουστάλιε κύριε.Translations (1)

[…] adjuring your glory by the immaculate Trinity and by your salvation and that of our invincible and most mighty emperor not to overlook us, who are oppressed and worn down in any matter whatsoever. For we have made our approach to you, awaiting your mercy just as those in Hades awaited the coming of Christ, most glorious master, magister militum, dux Augustalis, lord.

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.
