EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
From Ptolemaios. As you had ordered to write to Antiochos the collector (logeutes), that, keeping back what is due to the royal treasury, he should release the rest of the kleros of Menoites, and Ptolemaios the secretary (epistolographos) [...] added, as is proper, the others [...] having ordered beforehand [...] he hinders [...] to be separated (?) for Antinochos. I ask that not [...] I have been ordered [...] to Antinochos without excuse the official instruction, and it is already almost clear to you that he is also more trustworthy than the collectors. Farewell. Year 28, Epeiph 20.

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.
