EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
In the […] hour in which I met the most magnificent count […] and the most admirable scholastikos Hermogenes, they expressed no little indignation about the woman who has been held in custody, since she has not been sent on until now. And I replied that we did not do this by your order (?). And immediately the most magnificent count, with the agreement of the most learned scholastikos, wrote to your brotherliness, instructing that she be sent out quickly. And I sent the letter itself to her (?) […] of the letter, send her out at once. Here, moreover, is her brother, slandering us greatly […]

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.
