[recto] 643 To my lady, most honoured and virtuous mother Maria, her son Petros, greetings in the Lord God. I have found an opportunity through this letter of mine to greet you warmly, together with my brother Theon and my lady sister Plouse and my sweetest little brothers and sisters Heraeis and Nonna and Omaia and Phoibammon, each by name. Please, lady mother, send me the bracelets (?) and the earrings. Do not neglect then to send them to me through Athanasios. I greet warmly my lord brother Athanasios, the chamberlain of Abelos and also of Dorotheos. I greet warmly my mother Kyrillous. Please, lady mother, buy me one thick wrap for the winter, and please get the Oasis-made hood from Petros son of Esour, so that I may wear it when I come. I pray for your health for many years. [verso] Deliver to my dearest Maria from your son Petros.

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.
