[…]ι[…]
εὐθυμοῦντί σοι καὶ εὐδαιμονοῦντι διὰ παντὸς
[…] δοθῆναί σοι τὰ παρʼ ἐμοῦ γράμματα.
[…]ζω σε, ἄδελφε, ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ ἓν ἐπιστόλιν
οὐκ ἐδήλωσάς μοι καὶ ἐὰν περὶ τῆς ὁλοκληρίας
ὑμῶν καὶ περὶ ὃ οἶδα οὐδεμίαν ὑπόμνησίν
μοι ἐδήλωσας. καὶ ἐὰν νῦν, ἄδελφε, πάντα
ὑπερθέμενος ἀντίγραψόν μοι πρῶτον
μὲν περὶ τῆς ὁλοκληρίας σου. πάλαι μὲν καὶ σύ,
ἄδελφε, ἤκουσας ὅτι ἀπὸ μηνὸς Φαμενὼθ
ἕως μηνὸς Παῦνι οὐδὲ μίαν εὐθύμησα,
καὶ θεῷ χάρις. μὴ οὖν ἀμελήσῃς , ἄδελφε,
τοῦ σε ἀντιγράψαι μοι πρῶτον μὲν περὶ τῆς
ὁλοκληρίας σου, δεύτερον καὶ περὶ ὧν βούλῃς
παρʼ ἐμοὶ ἀντίγραψόν μοι, ἐμοῦ ἡδέως ἔχοντος.
ἀσπάζομαι τὸν πατέρα ἡμῶν, τοῦτό ἐστιν σόν, ἄδελφε.
ἀσπάζομαι Βαρύ. ἀσπάζομαι Σαραπίωνα. ἀσπάζομαι τοὺς ἡμῶν πάντας κατʼ ὄνομα.
ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι
πολλοῖς χρόνοις.

[…] to you, who are in good spirits and prospering always, […] that my letter be delivered to you.
[…] you, brother, that you have not sent me even one little letter, and that you have informed me of nothing about your health and about what I know of, no reminder at all. So now, brother, put everything else aside and write back to me, first of all about your health. Long ago you too, brother, heard that from the month Phamenoth to the month Pauni I did not have a single day of good cheer (?), and thanks be to God. So do not neglect, brother, to write back to me, first about your health, and second, about whatever you want from me, write back to me, since I will gladly do it.
I greet our father, that is, yours, brother. I greet Barys. I greet Sarapion. I greet all our people by name.
I pray for your health for many years.

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.
