EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[verso] Herakleides to his dearest Heroninos, greetings. Since an assistant has been sent by our lord Ischyrion for the sake of the sheaf-transport, and he has found the pack-saddles broken and useless, it is necessary for you, on receiving my letter, to hand over one of the carpenters with you to the slave Mydas, so that he may bring him to us, having his tools with him as well, so that when these (the pack-saddles) are finished we may be able to carry the sheaves. I pray for your health. Year 1, Pachon 27. [recto]

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.
