EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] […] […] sent (?) 4 matia of apples through Parammon and through […] another 4, and you wrote to me that you received only 3 hektia. As you wrote to me about the oil, I sent you a sealed kokkouma (jar) through Horboetis. Send me containers (?) of ekpasta (fish?) and a little fish sauce. Since I want to do you a favour, write to me how much you bought them for and I will send it to you. If you have at all decided to write to me after four years, write to me about your health. Tell Theodoros too that there is no need to ask (?) about the salt which we ate together. Having written, I greet my mother […] […] [verso] […] (address, illegible)

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.
