ἐπειδὴ μεθʼ οὗ ἐξῆλθον ἀπὸ τῆς σῆς μεγαλοπρεπείας ηὗρόν τινα ἀδελφόν μου ἐλθόντα
διʼ ἐμὲ χάριν τῶν ἀδελφῶν θελόντων ἀπελθεῖν εἰς τοῦ Τιμίου Σταυροῦ.
ἐλθῶ εἰς Ζίννει καὶ εἰδῶ […] τοῦ θεοῦ γὰρ θέλοντος ὥρᾳ τετάρτῃ αὔριον,
εἴ τί ἐστιν πέμπτῃ εὑρίσκεις με εἰς Βερενικίδος, ἐὰν κελεύῃς πρὸ διαφαύματος
αὔριον ἐξέλθῃς μετὰ ἑνὸς συμμάχου. καὶ ποιοῦμεν τὴν κέλευσιν τοῦ κύρου. προσκυνῶ
τῆς σῆς λαμπρότητος .

Since, after I left your magnificence, I found one of my brothers who had come on my account, because the brothers wish to go away to (the church of) the Holy Cross. Let me go to Zinnei and see […] For, God willing, at the fourth hour tomorrow, if it is Thursday (?), you will find me at Berenikis, if you order it; before dawn tomorrow you should set out with one symmachos. And we are carrying out the order of the lord. I make obeisance to your splendour.

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.
