Lettera di Theoninos a Didymos via HGV-meta

Letter from Theoninos reproaching Didymos for not writing.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Aurelius Theoninos to the most honoured Didymos, greetings. I shall not imitate you or your unkind letters, but I write as Theoninos once again to Didymos. For although I have often written to you and sent you letter-papers, so that you would be well supplied for writing to me, you have not deigned at all, in any way whatever, to remember me; but clearly, puffed up by wealth and a great abundance of money, you look down on your friends. Do not be like this towards Theoninos your brother, but write letters to us more often, so that through your letters your friend may be well supplied with news of your affairs. For you yourself are not unaware that I eagerly inquire each time about your health from those who come to us. I greet our father Souchion. [verso] To Didymos, his friend.

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.
