p.mich.1.92 Mitte III v.Chr.Memphites (?)

Fragment of Letter via HGV-meta

Fragment of a letter with copy of a letter to Hephaistion about irrigation works. Two small fragments of a Ptolemaic letter that apparently includes a copy of another letter addressed to Hephaistion. The surviving phrases mention compulsion, construction, irrigation, the month Phaophi, people associated with Thrason, and the place Akanthon, and seem to concern irrigation works, probably in the Memphite nome, in the mid-3rd century BC. machine translation

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.
