EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Herakleides to Athenodoros his brother, very many greetings and continual good health, as I pray. I have written to you several times and asked you in person to write to those in charge of the accounts of Koma so that they might take over the grain, and you did not do it. Long since you will throw the blame on me; I know that you are not careless. For if you forget, it will fall to the price-fixer (?). For the wheat is good. As for the rest, take care of yourself so that you stay well. Farewell. Year 22 of Caesar, Hathyr 17. [verso] To Athenodoros his brother.

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.
