EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Eirene to Taonnophris and Philon. I have given Kalokairos 340 drachmas on the account of Dionysios, since he wrote to me to give him as much as he wishes. Please, then, give them to Parammon our workman, and if he still has need, provide him with as much as he wishes, and send him off quickly. I have sent you in my clothes-bag a measure of Ombite dates and twenty-five pomegranates by Kalokairos, sealed. Please send me in it clean (loaves?) worth two drachmas, since I urgently need them. I have sent you by the same Kalokairos a box of very fine grapes and a basket of fine dates, sealed. Farewell. Hathyr 30. [verso] To Taonnophris and Philon.

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.
