I, Frange, am the one who writes, greeting his beloved sister Tsie,
the true woman who has found grace before God, like my mother Mary, the mother of our Lord. I greet also your daughter Saneth (?). Look, [the] hook (?) I have sent to you, and the basket (?) which Anaste gave to her.
Otherwise, she gave it to me for the oil;
I have brought it out. Do the kindness
and take the trouble at every time when they will work [...] my father, the old man, and do the charity,
and go and do work
for them. 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.
