Ayant saisi l’occasion du messager, j’ai cru devoir vous écrire, pour me prosterner et saluer la trace bénie des pieds bénis de mon bon maître, ainsi que tous les frères très aimés de Dieu qui habitent avec mon bon maître, et je prie mon maître de se souvenir de mon humble personne dans les prières toutes saintes et efficaces de mon bon maître, jusqu’à ce que Dieu me juge digne aussi de me prosterner en personne aux pieds de mon bon maître. Car je ne cesse, jour et nuit, de prier le Christ notre Maître pour le salut et la préservation de mon bon maître, et de tous ceux qui aiment mon maître dans le Seigneur. Phamenoth 2, indiction 2.

About this record's data
  • From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
  • 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 — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
