EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
From […] My master the most glorious comes Ammonios [has not neglected], for God's sake, the welfare (?) of your village. He spoke […] to investigate the condition of the same village, and [ordered this] to be written to all those from the village and to the expelleutai, [through] your admirableness and Senouthis son of Apollos and [the other] protocometae of the same village, and wishing [you, however,] and the others, I mean Bottos and his son and [those with him], to withdraw and keep to themselves, attending to [their own business]. And I have sent such letters through the letter-carrier […] to your brotherliness. Having received them, then, arrange […] to gather those from the village and to hand over to them and […] of the expelleutai to give him the letters addressed to them […] to the city, and he brings them up, settling (?) them; but you, [with] the expelleutai, do by yourselves what is needed [regarding] the settlement, but do not turn away the matters […] from my aforementioned master the comes and […] but by all means follow the order. And [your grandfather (?)] Psimanobet send here at once […] […] of the most glorious comes [verso] [Deliver] to my brother Apollos, protocometes, from Psaios, [numerarius (?)].

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.
