EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] Eudaimonis to Apollonios her son, very many greetings. I was very glad to hear that you are well, and your sister Soeris too. From the day you sent to me, I searched for the Laconian wool (?) and did not find it, only rotten Attalian. You are not unaware that you gave half a pound and 2 drachmas in weight for the white garment set. So you will spend one pound and a stater in weight. Buy it then and send it, so that it may be sent to you quickly. I urge you to stay by yourself, so that you do not grieve me […]. Greet Aline your sister. Soeris thanks you very much and wrote me a letter about this. Little Heraidous greets you and her mother. Farewell, child. Choiak 24. [verso] To Apollonios, strategos of the Apollonopolite nome.

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.
