EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] Koitonikos to Heron, greetings. If you are returning what you hold on deposit, do as I told you face to face, and demand back my tunics, or hold her (?) to it as she says, until she buys cloaks herself and you recover my things. Introduce (me?) to Hermas when he comes down, until he sells 500 bundles of hay at the current price. About the carpenters: if they come up, send me word so that I may know. See to it, then, that you do not let her move until you recover my tunics; for I do not wish to speak of all that she did to me. Farewell. Hadrianos 25. [verso] […] Deliver to Heron from Koitonikos.

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.
