EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Diogenis to her dearest Kronios, greetings. Expect me too, coming up to you at Talei. But I pray that when I arrive I may find fault with you in nothing, and I hope that none of these things will happen. My brother Lourios will tell you everything about my affairs. I wish you good health. Greet all my people and Isidora, and let her go to the […] teacher (?). If Didymas objects to the delivery to Lourios, bring out my chest and, sealing his documents, send them. Epeiph 20. And if you have need of him for the artaba-tax or anything else, go to him and he will do everything. [verso] […] of Diogenis.

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.
