Isidora to Asklepiades her brother, greetings and good health always.
I have sealed up together for you (pl.) the letters to Paniskos. So send the reply to everything quickly, because the boat is departing. And you too, keep up your courage until he arrives, and take care of yourself so that you stay well, which is the most important thing.
Farewell. Year 3, Phaophi 5.
Send the child's sleeping blanket.

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.
