I sent
the great man in to her.
First of all, I write
greeting my sister
and(?) my dear one (?), in
the whole fulfilment of my soul. Since you sent to me
concerning my mother Sophia, saying,
"Send to her
that there is no one
outside; tell
her about a matter": as for me,
she does not listen to me at all. I have sent to her many times [...]
she does not listen
until she falls
into this trouble.

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.
