[r] παρά ἐδιδάχθη ἡ αὐτῶν ἐξουσία παρὰ Ἄπα Μουσαίου[…] ὡς Εὐδόξιος ὁ λαμπρότατος ἔπεμψεν ἐπηρεάζων τοῖς πράγμασιν τῶν ἀπὸ Πετο· καὶ ἐπὶ τούτῳ ἠγανάκτησεν κατὰ τῆς σῆς θαυμασιότης, θαυμασιότητος ὡς ἰσχυούσης πλέον ἐκείνου ἐν τοῖς τόποις, καὶ ἀνασχομένης τὰ πράγματα βλαβῆναι τὰ φροντιζόμενα παρὰ τῆς αὐτῶν ἐξουσίας. καὶ οἶδα ἀκριβῶς ὅτι οὐ δύναται Εὐδόξιος ὁ λαμπρότατος παρελθεῖν διὰ τῶν πραγμάτων οὐδαμῶς ?, εἰ μὴ βουλομένης τῆς σῆς θαυμασιότητος. σπούδασαι τε τοίνυν ἵνα μὴ ὑμῖν γράψω μηκέτι συγχωρῆσαί τινι παρελθεῖν διʼ αὐτῶν καὶ ἐπηρεάζειν αὐτοῖς· ἀλλὰ καὶ ὅσα ἔλαβεν ἀπὸ τῶν εἰρημένων πραγμάτων σπουδάσατε ἀναδοθῆναι αὐτοῖς διὰ ἀνθρώπων κατεχομένων παρὰ σοῦ· οὐδὲν γὰρ ἀνέχομαι τῷ κυρίῳ Εὐδοξίῳ περὶ τούτου, ἀλλὰ πάντως τὰ γεγραμμένα ποίησον, ἵνα μὴ εὑρεθῇς τὴν ἐκείνου ἀγανάκτησιν ὑπομένων[…] πλέον γὰρ τούτου οὐδέν σοι γράφω [v] ☧ ἐπίδος τῷ θαυμασιοτάτῳ Ἀπολλῶτι πρωτοκωμήτῃ χμγ

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] From […] Their authority has been informed by Apa Mousaios […] that the most illustrious Eudoxios sent (men) to harass the affairs of the people from Peto; and at this (their authority) became indignant against your admirableness, since your admirableness is more powerful than he in those places, and tolerated that the affairs looked after by their authority [be harmed]. And I know precisely that the most illustrious Eudoxios cannot in any way interfere in these affairs unless your admirableness wishes it. Make every effort, then, so that I do not have to write to you again, to allow no one any longer to interfere in them and harass them; but also [make every effort] that whatever he took from the said affairs be given back to them through men held by you. [For] I will tolerate [nothing] from the lord Eudoxios on this matter; but by all means do what has been written, so that you are not found enduring his indignation […]. For I write nothing more to you than this. [verso] [☧ Deliver to the most admirable Apoll]os, protokometes. χμγ

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.
