EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[… lines lost …] […] is and […] the price of the wine. Here the sambathon is sold for 4 denarii and a nummus, (delivered) onto a boat. Find out also the expense incurred for them and the toll. And if you wish, I will send you as much as you want, for I am able to, and if I do not have enough to pay the price in full, I can get credit by giving as a pledge what I have in hand. But if, on the other hand, you do not wish it, send me a letter quickly so that I too may be free of worry, for at every hour I am ready, waiting for a letter from you. But do not neglect me, for I am grieved not a little that you have written nothing to me. I pray for your health.

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.
