[recto]
Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.
I, Frange, and Moses, we write greeting our beloved good father David and our God-loving mother Meseiane.
We also greet your children.
My Lord Jesus Christ and the prayers of all the saints will bless you.
Farewell in the Lord.
[verso]
Do the great kindness, our beloved God-loving mother Meseiane: when Kyrikos comes to you, give him a little oil, and let him bring it to us when he comes, for the need is very great. (?) Our heart is very much at ease (?) in everything.
[…] Amen.

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.
