Diogenes to Dioskoras, most honoured, greetings.
Before all else I pray that you are in good health, and I make obeisance for you before the lord Sarapis. Go to Isidoros about the cloak (phainolēs) and the striped (?) garment (epikarsion), and take them to Kalyke; and send us whatever (…) you have received from the Pharitai (?). The dalmatic, send it too, and the ladle (kyathos). Write to me about how things are and what has happened. Greet Euplia. I pray for your health.
[verso]
Deliver to Dioskoras.

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.
