I greet your [godliness],
honoured brother. Do me the kindness, [do not find fault]
with me. For indeed the Lord knows that […] the Lord knows that I left the answer
with Estra before I went to Nehek, so that he might tell it to you. Behold, then, I have sent it
by means of Philotheos. Do me the kindness, do not find
fault with me. Give it to my beloved brothers Apa Moses and Apa Psate.
From Georgios, this most humble one.

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.
