EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] To my master, most honoured brother Kyrillos, Theodoros. I have sent you the memorandum of the assistant […]lianos the councillor […] through Eudaimon our comrade. On receiving it, duly accept from him the wages and the assistance payments, providing half of what is provided to the mother of Heraklammon; for you know that she too is in need. And if you are better, join us; for my lord the governor is very much asking for everyone. And inform my lords the brothers Antiochos and Theon, the pagarchs, that at once, without any delay, I submitted their report, my lord the a actis not being in the Herakleopolite but in the Arsinoite nome, and I sent letters about this to the councillors through the same Eudaimon, on the pretext of the raising of the columns of the basilica. Please, while you are still in the city, have all the hay baled (?), reminding the same men, that is Antiochos and Theon, to provide their animals for transporting it, just as he promised. I have already sent the petition of my lord brother Didymos, and having received the reports of my master, dear to my soul, Isidoros, from my lord brother Sarapion, for he passed this on to me, I am having them executed. I pray for your health for many years, lord brother. [recto, margin] […] to me as […] […] [verso] Demand the solidi from Harammon the contractor, for the need of them is very pressing, leaving with the mother of Heraklammon what she wants; for Andreas the numerarius has come and is going to trouble you for the reason you know. When all the officials (?) had been sent back, I had Zoilos relieved, since he was being badly treated. And, being engaged, I presented the reports to my lord the governor. And already, as I said before, they are being carried out. I also instructed my lord Timagenes to send everyone back, and the same to him (?) my lord the scholastikos. To my master, most honoured of all, brother Kyrillos, excerptor, Theodoros.

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.
