παρασκεύασον Κυριακὸν τὸν υἱὸν Βάμου ἀπελθεῖν εἰς δίαιταν μετὰ τῆς γραμματηφόρου
γυναικός, ἀλλὰ πάντως παρασκεύασον ποιῆσαι. ζῇ κύριος, ἐὰν ἔτι ἔλθῃ πρὸς ἐμὲ
καὶ μὴ ἀπηλλάγησαν, οὐκ ἔχεις μου βαστάξαι. πέμψον δὲ εὐθέως διὰ τῆς σήμερον
ἡμέρας Ἰωάννην καὶ Παρσάκιν μετὰ τῶν σπαθίων αὐτῶν καὶ σκουταρίων, ἐπειδὴ θέλω
τούτους ἐγγύς μου. ἀλλὰ πάντως διὰ τῆς σήμερον πέμψον μοι. †

Arrange for Kyriakos the son of Bamos to go to arbitration with the woman who brings this letter, and by all means arrange for him to do it. As the Lord lives, if she comes to me again and they have not been reconciled (?), you will not be able to bear me. And send at once, this very day, John and Parsakis with their swords and shields, since I want them near me. But by all means send them to me this very day. †

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.
