EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
† † Since the most holy bishop has given me orders through Peter the younger, who is delivering this present letter of mine to you, please, because of the order of the most holy man, give him the annona allowances of the same consecrated man. For he is rather […] and has many children, and cannot find the means to bring them up. But as is customary, do this because of the order of the same most holy man. And if he has reached Koma and has learned anything about the most magnificent chartularius, write to me. † [verso] † To my master in all things, most illustrious, worthy of all honour, true brother George, comes and administrator, † Victor, with God, landowner's deputy (?).

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.
