[recto]
I, Frange,
the least, who dwells
in the mountain of Djeme,
am writing to greet his beloved brothers whom I love,
Pebo and his wife.
God and the prayers
of all the saints
will protect you
from (?) falling into sickness in the winter.
Farewell in
the Lord.
[verso]
Do (me) the kindness,
do not hold back.
If you will make the small blanket (lodix)
for me, (make it) quickly, quickly.
Your heart is at rest
in everything. If
you will not make the blanket,
do the kindness and do it, for the sake of God and the salvation of your soul, and may God
give you a long life. Let Pebo take the 30 copper coins (?) and come, so that I may give them
for the small 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.
