EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] Syrion to his dearest Ailouras, greetings. I greet you and your children, may the evil eye spare them. Apollotas, helping me in the matter of Dioskoros son of Dionysios, gave me a letter to the strategos asking him to put an end to the matter. So I rolled up the letter of Apollotas together with that of Hermophilos; for I recommended him because you had then sailed down. I urge you therefore to go together with Hermophilos to Herakleios, the son (?) of Apollotas, so that he may take more care of it because you are urging him on; for he himself also informed me through At[…] himself […] years again in Alexandria the forefather […] has been registered (?) […] […] […] […] […] [verso] From Syrion, deliver to Ailouras.

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.
