Since I told you about the two bundles of nouh-rope that you would be kind enough to take them from me this year again, now, look, I have sent them by the hand of Psate. And if you need a few more, send (word) and I will send them, these which I sent being written (down). If you say that I do it, I will do it again. As you were kind to me in the past years, do it again this year, so that I may give thanks to you. Do the charity, as at every time, and be kind, if the matter pleases you.
Send me a wine-jar (?) for the offering of the feast of […].
All the brothers greet you. Take the offering at the feast.
Farewell in the holy Trinity.
Moses, the least.

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.
