[recto]
I, Frange,
the least of sinners, am writing and greeting
his beloved lord brother
Sabine. I greet you
very very much in the whole fullness
of my soul in the Lord.
After this, I greet all your people who are in your house.
Farewell in the Lord, my beloved brother.
[verso]
Behold, I am writing, exhorting
your lordship, the good
brother, that when you hear the letter of my littleness,
do not neglect a single day
in the matter, which is this: do
the great charity with me
and forge a small axe (?)
for me, which is needed, one span long (?) of iron, and put a ...
to it, one span (?)
beautifully and well, and send it to me quickly.

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.
