[recto] I, Frange, am writing and greeting his beloved good brother Phoibammon and his wife and his children. Very much indeed I greet Markos. The Lord Jesus Christ, may he watch over you. Farewell in the Lord. The Holy Trinity. [verso] The one who will leave your children for you (?): tell Daniel to take the small (measure of) oil and send it to me, for it is needed. Afterwards, do it for the sake of God and give the tablet to Apa […] the servant, and take his blessing and send it to me quickly, quickly.

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.
