The most humble, worthless Petros, writing and greeting his God-loving father Apa Joseph the deacon. And
I greet all the brothers, from
and look, he is coming tomorrow
the small to the great. But (above all)
my mother, the sister, and Apa
and send it to us for the need
Johannes and Xiste and Pathermouthios and Seth and Patoui
be so kind as to send to me the
and Ieremias and Sounthos
your brother, who is P[…]loulous.
If you give it to the brother, let him read it.
Give it to the priest and the brother [and]
Pjoui and Cholo, let him read it too.
Otherwise it is the judgement (?), this, that they should read it
themselves, because it is the command.
Please send twenty
(and) 100 copper (coins) for the book; look, we have ornamented (bound?) it.
Send it, take it for yourself.

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.
