[…]
[…] God, the honoured one, Apa Frange, through Isaak (?), the most humble presbyter. Before all things we greet and kiss the footprint of your holy feet, the venerable man. Since you sent to me about the brother Isaak of Aunan (?), I came in, I found that he had gone to Horion (?). Behold, I have sent for him, my holy brother. If he comes to you, receive him, that is, the compassion of brotherly love; let it last until God appoints a place for him.
Farewell. The Holy Trinity †

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.
