κυρίῳ μου ἀδελφῷ Ἰσιδώρῳ Κλαυδιανός. τὰ τριάκοντα χρύσινα ἅπερ παρεσχόμην ὑπὲρ σοῦ τῷ κυρίῳ μου Εὐξιθέῳ καὶ τὰ ἄλλα πέντε τὰ ἀπὸ λόγου τοῦ σίτου καὶ τὰ ἄλλα τρία τὰ ἀπὸ λόγου τῆς φοράδος καὶ τὸν ἄλλον ἕνα τὸν ἀπὸ λόγου τῆς καμήλου, θέλησον παρασχεῖν Χρήστῳ. εἰ δὲ μὴ τοῦτο ποιήσῃς γίγνωσκε ὡς ὅτι πάσας τὰς εὐεργεσίας ἃς διεπραξάμην εἴς σε ἐπαναλῦσαι ἔχω. τὰ δὲ ἄλλα δεκατέσσερα μέτρα τοῦ λινοσπέρμου θέλησον παρασχεῖν τῷ αὐτῷ Χρήστῳ. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι πολλοῖς χρόνοις.

To my lord brother Isidoros, Claudianus. The 30 gold solidi which I provided on your behalf to my lord Euxitheos, and the other 5 on account of the wheat, and the other 3 on account of the mare, and the other 1 on account of the camel, please give to Chrestos. If you do not do this, know that I will undo all the benefactions which I have performed for you. And the other 14 measures of linseed, please give to the same Chrestos. I pray for your health for many years.

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.
