We are amazed, we, Frange and Moyses, we are astonished, because we wrote, swearing by Phoibammon the shameless one, that we would send you the blanket (?) before we bound ourselves (?) to Easter (?); it has been spread abroad (?).
You yourself know, my brother, that this shameless one has joined with his wife. Because of you I made every arrangement, I made peace between you. But now God knows that I am not joining in his peace with you and with him, while I live, on account of the matter of his wife. And if you listen to me and believe me, my brother, there are many people
scandalized at you, because you go
in to Phoibammon the shameless one.
See, I have written, I have borne witness
to you: go and […] the shameless one, lest some trouble
befall you. I have borne witness to you.
Until you send the blanket (?)
to me, do not come to me again ever, to my place;
rather stay where you are, do not come to me again.

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.
