Private Letter via HGV-meta
Letter from Herakles to Myrinos about workers on an estate. A fragmentary private letter from Herakles to his 'brother' Myrinos, instructing him to let Ammon and his children keep working on the portion of land belonging to Iakobos and to supervise the estates daily. The rest, mentioning the city and bricks, is too damaged to follow. It probably dates to the 4th century AD. machine translation

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 121978 (see that record)
