Before all things, I greet you with the whole fullness of my soul.
I inform your brotherliness that, since you walked with me (saying) that you would bring the gum (kommi) to me, along with the papyrus sheets for her (?), you have neglected it until now. I have been concerned about you. I made the rope (?); it has rotted and perished (?). Behold, it is [...]
[...] now, therefore, do the kindness [...]
[...] the papyrus sheets for me [...]
[...] the gum which I made, [the] rope (?); behold, I am looking out for them.
[verso]
Give it to my beloved brother, the honoured deacon, from Moses the most humble.

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.
