Theon to Diogenis, his own sisters (?), greetings.
Being in Senao, before all else I write greeting your children. I gave instructions to Eteokleia about the cloaks, and by letter I instruct [...] either to me or to Pannos. Know (?) that I did not write to you, for [...] you are ignorant. He says to send you a box in which there is a tunic, through Pisas brother of Ga[...], and through Petechon a basket containing [...] a small [...], and through Petechon a myrrh-coloured mantle, 2 pairs of cloaks. To the woman I gave 5 drachmas. I received through the same man a basket, in a pot a measure, and [...] choinikes of onions, [through] Xenos 8 drachmas. Greet Diogenis and all your people by name. You did not tell me about the [...] oil, whether you received it through Mystharas, since you have paid in (?) a stater, so that you should also inform me. The daughter Ak..., your daughter, greets you. Farewell. Thoth 14. Greet Kephalion.
[verso]
From Pannos to Eteokleia his sister.

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.
