[recto]
Theon to his dearest Theon, greetings.
I want you to know that on the 11th we arrived at Hermopolis, and I am making obeisance on your behalf before the gods with whom I am staying as a guest.
I sent you through […]tikos empty baskets (?) […] and the half-jar of Epimachos. Do not neglect the work at your place. I too will try to come to you quickly. Let the cheap wines be moved (?). Be constantly at the farm on account of the waters. Whatever Homonoia needs, give it to her, and look after her as if I were present. Eudaimonis greets you, and Gaius and Ammonios and Herodiaina and Diogenes. Diogenes blames you about the ratification of the twenty arouras. Greet Homonoia and Kyrilla and your brothers.
I pray for your health for long ages.
[verso]
To Theon from Theon, steward.

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.
