To my lord son Timotheos,
Horion.
I received the two inner tunics and two barbarika and a face-cloth (?) and two curtains. I have sent you one inner tunic and one barbarikon and a face-cloth and one curtain and half of a large piglet.
You wrote to me about ammi for Dorotheos. If it is true and at a good price, let me know, and also about the wheat and the barley. Phibis is coming to you tomorrow. If you want anything, tell him and I will send it to you.
I pray for your health.

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.
