διʼ ἐμοῦ δὲ παρακαλεῖ ὑμᾶς πεμφθῆναι τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ διὰ τὴν
ἁγίαν ἑορτήν. πολλὰ τοὺς πόδας τῆς ὑμετέρας λαμπρᾶς προστασίας
ἀσπάζομαι, καὶ παρακαλῶ ἐξ ἐμοῦ προσκυνηθῆναι τὸν δεσπότην μου
τὸν μεγαλοπρεπέστατον ὑμῶν ἀδελφὸν καὶ τὴν κύραν Ἰνδαροῦν.
τὰ δὲ ἱμάτια τοῦ ἀδελφοῦ Θεοδώρου τοῦ χρυσώνου εὑρεθέντα δέδωκαν
τῷ ἀρχισυμμάχῳ τῆς ἐκκλησίας, καὶ ἐὰν μὴ εἰς πλήρης ἔλαβεν,
ἀλλʼ ὅμως μέρος. οὐδὲν δὲ κατὰ τὸ παντελὲς ζημιοῦται
, ἐπειδὴ ηὑρέθη μέρος αὐτῶν. ☧

And through me he asks you that his garments be sent to him on account of the holy feast. I greet many times the feet of your illustrious patronage, and I ask that on my behalf obeisance be made to my master, your most magnificent brother, and to the lady Indarous.
As for the garments of brother Theodoros the goldsmith, those that were found they have given to the chief symmachos of the church, and even if he did not receive them in full, still he received part. He suffers no loss whatever ⟦nor will he suffer loss⟧, since part of them was found. ☧

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.
