[r] τῷ ἀγαπητῷ πατρὶ ἄπα Παπνουθίῳ Αὐσόνιος. μεμνημένος τῶν ἐντολῶν τῆς σῆς θεοσεβείας μετεπεμψάμην Ὧρον τὸν ἀπὸ Φιλονίκου καὶ ὑπέμνησα αὐτόν, Γάλλον δὲ ἠξίωσα ἐν ἅπασι ὑπομνῆσαί με ἵνʼ ἐν τοῖς δυνατοῖς τὴν παρʼ ἐμοῦ σπουδὴν ἐνδείξω· ἵνα δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τούτου καὶ ἐπὶ πάντων κελεύσῃς παρακαλῶ τὰ μεγάλα. μέμνησο δέ μου ἐν ταῖς ἁγίαις σου εὐχαῖς. ἐρρωμένον σε καὶ εὐχόμενον ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ὁ θεὸς διαφυλάξῃ, ἀγαπητὲ πάτερ. [v] τῷ ἀγαπητῷ πατρὶ ἄπα Παπνουθίῳ Αὐσόνιος.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] To my beloved father Apa Papnouthios, Ausonius. Mindful of the instructions of your piety, I sent for Horos from Philonikos and reminded him, and I asked Gallus to remind me in all matters, so that I may show my zeal as far as possible. I earnestly beg that you give orders both concerning this and concerning everything. Remember me in your holy prayers. May God preserve you in good health and praying for us, beloved father. [verso] To my beloved father Apa Papnouthios, Ausonius.

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.
