[recto] To my beloved father Sansnos, Harpokration, very many greetings in the Lord. Make Petros, who is troubling our brother Appianos on account of Papnoutios and his people concerning the rents, hold off a few more days, until they find an opportunity to come to you and settle their part. For so they have asked. But be zealous, beloved, to stand by our brother. For this is fitting for your love in Christ. If it is no burden to you, procure for us 10 loads of chaff and send us word at what price it is sold. I greet all the brothers who are with you. May [God?] keep you well and in good spirits always […] […] [verso] To my beloved father Sansnos, Harpokration.

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.
