[r]
χαίροις Καλόκαιρε,
Κύριλλός σε προσαγορεύω. οὐκ ἤμην ἀπαθὴς ἀλόγως σε καταλείπειν, οὐ γάρ τις λαμβάνων τοῦ Τῦβι τὸν
τόκον δεκαπλοῦν κεφάλαιον κομίζει. ἀλλὰ
ἀναβαίνω σὺν τῷ ὀρχηστῇ· εἰ καὶ μὴ ἀνέβαινε ἐγὼ τὸν λόγον
μου οὐ παρέβαινον.
εὐτύχει.

ἀπόδος Καλοκαίρῳ.Translations (1)
Greetings, Kalokairos,
I, Kyrillos, salute you. I was not indifferent at leaving you without explanation (?), for no one who receives the interest in Tybi recovers the capital tenfold. But I am going up with the dancer; even if he were not going up, I would not have broken my word.
Farewell.
[verso]
Deliver to Kalokairos.

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.
