EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] † † I went to the son of Kollouthos the most pious deacon, and he agreed to the contract now sent […], and he did well to withdraw. Let your true brotherliness therefore arrange for him that the document be deposited with a neutral party in accordance with what was agreed, and that the solidi be given to the woman, so that she may write (a receipt) for them. And concerning the slaves, it was decided that she should take them without dispute. So arrange for him to do this. † [verso] † To my master in all things most illustrious, worthy of honour, true brother George, chartularius and administrator, Victor, with God, antigeouchos. †

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.
