[verso]
Dios to Pasion, his father and lord, very many greetings. I want you to know, father, that I am very grateful to Isidoros the steward, since he introduced me to the storehouse on the instructions of Euangelos; so you too thank Isidoros and, if you can, give him a gift. He deserves much, and if the matters there go through, he gives many instructions to my supervisor. I am very grateful to Apas son of Euangelos, because every few days he comes down to me. Send the Syrian quickly, since Apas son of Euangelos is crying out about the money, because he needs it; and come down, giving him the double-woven garment and a woollen tunic and a linen one and a shawl (?) and a jar of pickled fish. So do not neglect this, father. And Euangelos did not give me the double-woven garment, and he did not give the price of the cloaks. I greet all those in the house.
Year 5, Tybi 28.
I pray for your health, lord.

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.
