EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Ales son of Pasion and Ales son of Kephalas, from the village of Tampiti, to Philoxenos, wool merchant, their brother, greetings. Give to Dorotheos, steward (pronoetes) of the estate of Dioskoros, on account of the price of wool, 1 gold solidus, 1 solidus, as a token (?) that I sent my sister Apia and he gave her the solidus, one in gold and one and a half in silver coin. So do not neglect it, brother: provide him with the solidus. We, Aurelius Ales and the other Ales son of Kephalas, agree to everything written above as stated. I, Aurelius Sarapammon, scribe, wrote on their behalf, since they do not know letters.

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.
