First of all, my most humble greeting.
I write, greeting my beloved brother Hele…eos (?) and all those of his house, in the Lord.
Greetings. Since I spoke to you about the matter of the kr[…], (you sent) no answer to me until now, whether you will give anything to me or not. Nor did you write a word to me, nor did you come out so that I might find you. Make every effort and come, so that I may find you and settle a single matter with you, and it will stand. Give it to Hele…eos (?) through Patermoute.
Elias.
Do not be afraid to come out.
Farewell.

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.
