ἡμῶν· φιλοπονοῦμεν καὶ ἀναψύχομεν,
καλῶς ἡμῖν ἔσται. ἀσπάζομαι τὴν μητέρα μου Ταμιέαν καὶ τὴν ἀδελφήν μου
Τνεφεροῦν καὶ τὴν ἀδελφήν μου Φιλοῦν,
ἀσπάζομαι καὶ τὸν ἀδελφόν μου Πατερμοῦθιν καὶ τὴν ἀδελφήν μου Θερμοῦθιν,
ἀσπάζομαι καὶ τὸν ἀδελφόν μου Ἡρακλ

Aurelius Dios to Aurelius Horion, my sweetest father, many greetings.
I make obeisance for you every day before the gods here. Do not worry then, father, about our studies; we are working hard and taking relaxation, and all will be well with us. I greet my mother Tamiea and my sister Tnepheros and my sister Philous; I greet also my brother Patermouthis and my sister Thermouthis; I greet also my brother Herakl(…) and my brother Kollouchis; I greet my father Melanos and my mother Timpesouris and her son. Gaia greets you all; my father Horion and Thermouthis greet you all.
I pray for your health, father.
[verso]
Deliver to Aurelius Horion from Dios his son.

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.
