EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Memorandum from me, Ioannes, to my master and brother Anastasios: that, on arriving with God's help at Antinoou, you should entreat my master the most magnificent count Menas about the advance payment of the estate of Apammon and about the island of the estate; and if his magnificence should wish it of me, also 200 xestai of radish oil. That you should also speak with the lord Theophilos about Leilos, and hand over to him the 4 solidi and receive the deeds of sale from Leilos; but if he wants more than the 4 solidi, let the […] of Kollouthos swear before Victor, the brother of the aforementioned Leilos, and let him receive the remainder. That you should eject Papnouthis the farmer from my estate and demand from him everything contained in his lease, and the advance which he holds, and the reeds from the eighth to the eleventh (indiction). That with God's help you should buy me 300 flat cheeses and 2 artabas of […]. That you should seek out the lord […] of the sister of the lord Neilos, the scriniarius of the count's office, and give him the letters of his mother; and if he should have need of up to 10 solidi, be so good as to provide them to him and receive a note in his own hand from him, and send it to me so that he may receive them and I will send them to you. That you should send me the one artaba of beans for the fasts, and good lampsana (charlock), and the honey, and good sandals.

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.

  • 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.
