τῷ δεσπότῃ μου πατρὶ Λεωνίδῃ Εὐάγγελος. περὶ τῶν ναυτῶν μὴ προσποιηθῇς· καὶ γὰρ πέρυσι φανερὸς τύπος δέδοται καὶ ἔστιν κυρωθεὶς ἐν τῷ λογιστηρίῳ· καὶ γὰρ ὅρκος ἐδόθη καὶ παρὰ ἄλλων ναυτῶν καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ πέρυσι. καταξίωσον δὲ μετὰ σπουδῆς λαβεῖν τὸν χρύσινον, ὃν δέδωκας Πέτρῳ· καὶ γὰρ οὐκ ἔχεις πρᾶγμα πρὸς γραμματέα· σῖτον …τεδωσεαν θελήσῃ πέμψαι, ἔχει σύμμαχον … γὰρ Παύλω σοὶ προσέχουσιν. μὴ ἀμελήσῃς λαβεῖν τὸν χρύσινον καὶ παρασκεύασον αὐτὸν δηλῶσαί μοι, τί χρὴ γενέσθαι· καὶ γὰρ οὐκ ἠνέσχοντο οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς κώμης μερίσασθαι τὸν σῖτον Φοιβάμμωνος.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To my master father Leonides, Euangelos. Concerning the sailors, do not concern yourself (?): for last year a clear ruling was given and it has been ratified in the accounting office; for an oath was also given both by other sailors and by Alexandros in the church last year. Please be so kind as to take back with haste the gold solidus which you gave to Petros; for you have no business with the secretary. If he wishes to send grain […], he has an ally […] for to Paulos they pay attention to you (?). Do not neglect to take the solidus, and arrange for him to inform me what must be done; for the people of the village did not consent to divide the grain of Phoibammon.

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.
