EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] Apollonous to Terentianus her brother, greeting and constant good health. I want you to know that, since I wrote to you before about my property, so then […] that the rents and the seed will all come out completely. And do not grieve about the children; they are well and are attending a teacher. And concerning your lands, I have relieved your brother of 2 artabas of the rents. So then I am receiving from him 8 artabas of wheat and 6 artabas of vegetable seed. And do not grieve about us, and take care of yourself. I learned from Thermouthas that you have provided yourself with a pair of belts, and I rejoiced greatly. And concerning the olive groves, they are bearing well up to today. And the gods willing, if he can, (let him?) come over to us. And I pray for your health, and your children and all your people greet you. Farewell. Year 2 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus, Phamenoth 20. [… 3 lines lost …] [verso] Deliver to Julius Terentianus, soldier.

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.
