EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
From Herakleides. Load […] the pack animals (?) with good firewood, and let him come up if he has finished with the chaff. But do not neglect this. It is written to us that Herakleides should go out on the 1st. If, then, he is not free, I am going out. And write about the small change. So let Syros go to the shepherds. Apynchis had 300 drachmas and Atais 100 drachmas. Syros knows what he received from these; let him demand the remainder from them for you for the present. I pray for your health. To Heroninos and Syros, estate managers. Year 4, Mecheir 20

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.
