Greetings, brother Peteuris.
Your excellence […] kindness […] I have, and I can never [repay] it. [My lord] brother, I know very well that I burdened you […] I held back from applying to anyone else […] because about this I reproached (?) another […] So it is enough for me to have as much as you may decline (?) […] not to be burdened by this. If then […] I am persuaded that you gladly provide […] to the one coming, what I should give, so that also concerning the things […] I may call. It lies under seals [until] I obtain your reply [about everything]. [Greet] all your people, with whom I pray that you are well […] my lord.
[verso]
To Peteuris, brother.

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 29032 (see that record)
