[recto]
I, Frange, and Moses, who write, greeting our beloved good brother Lazaros and Kolthe his son. We greet also our beloved brother who is dear, Isaac.
Your brother Lazaros (?)
Farewell in the Lord.
[verso]
Do the kindness, my brother Lazaros, and tell Charisia your sister to take the artaba of wheat and grind it into a thallion (?), and the basket of cakes (?), and give them to my brother Charis, together with the little bit of oil, so that he may bring them to us when he comes, because there is need, very very much.

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.
