[…]Πανεσνηοῦτι τῷ ἀδελφῷ πλεῖστα χαίρειν.
πρὸ μὲν πάντων ἐρρωμένον σε εὔχομαι καὶ τὸ προσκύνημά σου ποιῶ καθʼ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ Σαράπιδι.
γινώσκειν σε θέλω, ἄδελφε, ὅτι ἔγραψά σοι περὶ τοῦ τοπάρχου καὶ οὐδεμίαν μοι ἀντιφώνησιν ἀντέγραψας. καὶ ἂν
μὴ θέλῃ ποίησον δηλῶσαί μοι περὶ πάντων τῶν ἀνηκόντων μοι. ἀσπάζομαι τὴν μητέρα μου πολλὰ καὶ Θάιν
τὴν γυναῖκα σου καὶ τὰ ἀβάσκαντά σου παιδία. ἀσπάζετε ὑμᾶς πάντες κατʼ ὄνομα Ἡραίσκος καὶ ἀμμὰς αὐτοῦ καὶ
[…]όδορος καὶ Καλαθοῦς. ἀσπάζετε ὑμᾶς πάντας[…].
ἐρρῶσθαι ὑμᾶς εὔχομαι.Translations (1)
[…] to Panesneous (?) his brother, very many greetings.
Before all else I pray for your health and I make obeisance on your behalf every day before the lord Sarapis.
I want you to know, brother, that I wrote to you about the toparch and you wrote me no reply at all. And if [he is not willing (?)], make sure to inform me about everything that concerns me. I greet my mother warmly, and Thais your wife and your children, may the evil eye spare them. All greet you by name: Heraiskos and his mother (?) and […]odoros and Kalathous. They greet you all […].
I pray for your health.

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.
