[…]ας ἑκατόνταρχος ἐπείκτης δημοσίου σίτου Σύρῳ διαδεχομένῳ στρατηγίαν χαίρειν. ἐξαυτῆς λαβών μου τὰ γράμματα πέμψον τοὺς κληρονόμους Ἀπολλωνίου τοῦ δεκαπρώτου τῆς Θμοισεφῶ τοπαρχίας, ἵνα μὴ ἐκ τῆς σῆς ἀμελείας ἐνέδρα περὶ τὴν ἐμβολὴν γένηται. ἔπεμψα δὲ εἰς τοῦτο τὸν στατιωνάριον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς δεκαπρώτους ἵνα δυνηθῶμεν ὅθεν ἐὰν δέω τὴν ἐμβολὴν ποιῆσαι διὰ τάχους. ἐρρῶσθαί σε εὔχομαι.

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[…]as, centurion, overseer (?) of the public grain, to Syros, deputy strategos, greetings. Immediately on receiving my letter, send the heirs of Apollonios the dekaprotos of the Thmoisepho toparchy, so that no delay occurs in the embarkation (of the grain) through your negligence. For this purpose I have sent the stationarius, and also the other dekaprotoi, so that we may carry out the embarkation quickly from wherever I need. I pray for your health.

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.
