[recto] Ammonas to my sister, very many greetings. Before all else I pray that you are in good health, and I make your obeisance every day before the lord Sarapis. I have written to our brother that whatever you need, you should receive it. So do not hesitate to go to him about whatever you need, for I know that he will not refuse you. And I have written the same things to our brother Serenos, so that he may give you 5 artabas of barley. Greet my sister and her children and […] and Epitychia and Margaris and her daughter and all our people by name. I pray for your health. Pachon 27. [verso] Deliver to my 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.
