…… σου γράμματα. καταξιώσατε οὖν ποτε
συνγράψαι μοι περὶ τῆς ὑγείας ὑμῶν διὰ
τῶν ὑμετέρων γραμμάτων. καὶ γὰρ ἐγὼ
οὐκ ἅπαξ, οὐ δεύτερον, οὐ πολλὰ συνγράφω
προσαγορεύων ὑμῶν τὴν διάθεσιν; οὐδὲν
γάρ μοι λυπηρόν ἐστιν εἰ μὴ τοῦτο. ἤκουσα γὰρ
ἐνταῦθα λυπηρὸν πρᾶγμα συμβεβηκέναι
μοι, ὡς οἶδας περὶ ποίου. ἀσπάζομαι
τὰς κυρίας ὑμῶν μητέρας καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφούς.
οὐκ ἐδόθης εἰς τὴν ψυχήν μου; οὐκ ἔδυσάν σε εἰς τὸ […] μαφόρτιν; οὐκ ἐνόησεν ἡ μήτηρ μου εἰσβάλλειν εἰς τὴν φασκίν μου;
[v]
Ἰωάννῃ Ἀπολλ[…]

[recto]
[…] your letters. Deign then at some time to write to me about your health through your letters. For I too write not once, not twice, but many times, greeting your affection(?). For nothing is grievous to me except this. For I heard here that a grievous thing had happened to me, as you know about what kind. I greet your lady mothers and the brothers.
Were you not given into my soul? Did they not clothe you in the […] mantle (maphorion)? Did my mother not think to put (you?) into my swaddling band (?)
[verso]
To Ioannes, Apoll[…] (daughter?) of Theodoros […]

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.
