Jesus Christ
First of all,
I, the least, write greeting and
embracing your feet,
which bear the Word of God, likewise
I venerate your angel who gathers you in
to the communion of the apostles of Christ in unity, as it is written.
I and my father, we give it (this letter) to the holy man, the honoured Apa Iob
the priest, and Apa Petros the priest,
through Frange, this least sinner
who lives on the mountain of Jeme. Remember me in your holy prayers.
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.
