EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] To King Ptolemy, greetings from Herakleides, manager of the bank in the division of Polemon. I am wronged by Athenogenes, one of the donkey-drivers in Kaminoi. For when I hired from him 73 donkeys for the transport of the royal moneys, and gave him a towel (?) in which were a tunic and a cloak […], pledged by the peoples (?) […] the due […] the returns; but Athenogenes […] did not give back to us […] if it is shown that he received from me from […] […] a letter to us […] concerning these very matters. I beg you therefore, O King, if it seems good to you, to order Diophanes the strategos to write to Hephaistion, the epistates in Kaminoi, to summon Athenogenes and investigate these matters, and, if we show that we gave him the cloak and the tunic in the towel, to compel him to return to us the […] he has issued a letter to us. For if this is done, through you, O King, the common saviour and benefactor of all, I shall obtain justice. Farewell. To Hephaistion. Preferably reconcile them; otherwise send them so that they may be judged before the proper court. Year 1, Gorpiaios 30, Tybi [13]. [verso] Year 1, Gorpiaios 30, Tybi 13. Herakleides, manager, against Athenogenes, concerning clothes.

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.
