EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Eudaimon to Sarapion his brother, greetings. Before all else I greet you; next, brother, remember to go to the landowners of the arouras inside the dyke enclosure, so that they may come out with you to the remeasurement of the plots. So do not neglect it, brother. For know that we have made progress in every respect. So, brother, setting everything aside, go out with them, since there is need of you, and your presence will be welcome to us. Look after Appas, and bring us the news of the examination (epikrisis). Farewell. Pharmouthi 17. [verso] From Eudaimon to Sarapion the pious.

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.
