[recto]
It is I, Frange of the mountain of Djeme, who writes and greets his beloved brothers who are good, Jakob and my sister who is dear to me and loves God, Koupre, and their son Azarias. May my Lord Jesus
Christ and the prayers of all the saints bless
you and make you increase
in every good thing and give a long life to you and
to one another in a peace of God.
Amen. Farewell in
the Lord, my brothers
who love God,
who are dear.
[verso]
My brother Jakob, I am astonished at you, that you have spent the whole time without coming to me so that I might find you. Now, do the great charity and leave everything behind you and come to me from
tomorrow on, so that I may find you. Do not delay. If [you] speak to your brother Torsh, [let him] send Pilatos […] he came to me
again […] Pilatos […] and
[…] with you
[…] and
[…] Azarias.

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.
