I, Frange, am the one who writes, greeting his beloved brother Mahnchnoute. Since you came to me, I came with you, as a brother, to the great man. I am giving the ... (?) for you because of me. Now look, my heart has troubled the great man exceedingly. Do the kindness, my brother, and wish to give the vessels of this great man, whom I troubled, sending them to you. Otherwise my heart is very troubled. I am amazed at you that you went to the one who was dead (?) and did not bring these to him. Do the kindness, do not make me say it to you another time.
Farewell in the Lord.

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.
