καλῶς εἰρήκατε καὶ φρονίμως ὅτι σὺ αὐτὰ ἔκπλεξον ὡς ἐργαζομένου μου ἢ ὡς πραγματευομένου ἁλὶ καὶ ἄρτῳ καὶ ὕδατι ζῶν
ἐκπλέξαι αὐτὰ δύναμαι, ἀλλὰ εἰς ὃ θέλετε πρᾶγμα καὶ χαλκὸν εὑρίσκεται · ἢ οὐκ εἰδότες, ὅτι νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας ἐντυνχάνω τῷ θεῷ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν; περὶ δὲ Νείλου
οὐδὲ παρασφαλίσματά μοι ἐδίδου οὐδὲ καταγραφήν, ἵνα ἀπενέγκω αὐτὸν πρὸς Σεραπίωνα ὅπως αὐτῷ δῷ · μετὰ γὰρ τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀνέρχεται · καὶ περὶ Ἑρμιόνης μελησάτω ὑμῖν, πῶς ἄλυπος ᾖ · οὐ δίκαιον γὰρ αὐτὴν λυπεῖσθαι περὶ
οὐδενός· ἤκουσα γάρ, ὅτι λυπεῖται· προσδόκα Δημᾶν περὶ τὸν Χοιὰκ εἰς τὴν ἐπαράν.

Πτολεμαίῳ τῷ τοῦ Φαμπειν ἀπὸ Σ[…]Translations (1)
I am in danger of losing all these things and of also being made an example, as you have well spoken, because you have shown that as one working for (?) or dealing with (?) salt, bread, and living water, I am able to manage [?]. But to where you intend, it is a matter and bronze is discovered (?) or not knowing, that at night and day I entrust myself to God on your behalf. Concerning the Nile, no protection nor transcription was given to me to carry it to Serapion that he might give it. For he ascends with his brother. And let there be concern for Hermion, how she might be without pain. For it is not just that she is grieved for nothing; for I heard that she is grieved. Expect Demos concerning Choiach at the crossing. To Ptolemy, son of Phambites from Phambeina.

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.
