[r]
Εἰρήνη Ταοννώφρει καὶ Φίλωνι
εὐψυχεῖν.
οὕτως ἐλυπήθην καὶ ἔκλαυσα ἐπὶ
τῶι εὐμοίρωι ὡς ἐπὶ Διδυμᾶτος
ἔκλαυσα, καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἦν καθήκοντα ἐποίησα καὶ πάντες
οἱ ἐμοί, Ἐπαφρόδειτος καὶ Θερμούθιον καὶ Φίλιον καὶ Ἀπολλώνιος
καὶ Πλαντᾶς. ἀλλʼ ὅμως οὐδὲν
δύναταί τις πρὸς τὰ τοιαῦτα.
παρηγορεῖτε οὖν ἑαυτούς.
εὖ πράττετε. Ἁθὺρ λ.

[recto]
Eirene to Taonnophris and Philon, be of good comfort.
I was as grieved and wept as much over the blessed one as I wept for Didymas, and I did everything that was fitting, and so did all my family, Epaphroditos and Thermouthion and Philion and Apollonios and Plantas. But nevertheless, one can do nothing in the face of such things. So comfort one another.
Farewell. Hathyr 30.
[verso]
To Taonnophris and Philon.

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.
