† First, I greet and salute your very good brotherliness. Please be so kind as to send camel-drivers so that they may bring up the wheat to Trekatan for us, for the public tax (?); otherwise there is need.
Whenever you have need of some (?) of anything,
we will send them to you. Be exalted in the Lord.
Deliver it to my beloved brother Iakob, priest, from Hello, this most humble one.

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.
