Isidoros to Isidoros and Paniskos his sons, greetings.
I wrote to you on another ostracon that you should send me the small elbow-cushion, since I suffer when sleeping, and you did not send it. So send it, and the little ink-pot (?) and 2 small loaves, and of the small ones take half and send them in a little rag, since your ink-pot has … to … into the little hand (?), since I stand writing, and in return for it I will send to you. Concerning the copper money, I wrote another time that as soon as I sell barley, I will send it. Send whatever little letters have ever been brought for me from Egypt. I decided that you should not shave, because of being in the mountain. So do not neglect what I write to you […] to provide.
Farewell.
Phaophi 22

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.
