EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Sheet (?) To Protarchos from Dionysia daughter of Dionysios, citizen, with her guardian Eu...sion son of the same (?), and from Ammonios son of Dionysios, Alexandrian. Since, having lived together for […] years, we separated from one another, and now have come back to the same life together, we agree on the following terms: whereas Ammonios has received from Dionysia, by hand from the house, as dowry women's garments and a pair of gold earrings of two quarters (weight) and 4 silver bracelets each of a weight of 4 drachmas, and […] coined (?), all valued at 200 silver drachmas, from now on Ammonios himself shall supply Dionysia with all necessities and clothing as a wedded wife, in proportion to his means, and shall not ill-treat her nor throw her out nor insult her nor bring in another wife, or else he shall repay the dowry with half again as much, Dionysia having the right of execution against Ammonios himself and against all his property, as if by legal judgment; and Dionysia shall observe her duties towards her husband and their common life, shall not sleep away or be absent by day from the house without Ammonios' consent, nor ruin nor damage the common household, nor live with another man, or else, if she is judged to have done any of these things, she shall be deprived of the dowry, besides the transgressor being liable to the fixed penalty. And within 5 business days from whenever we give each other notice, we shall also draw up through the sacrificing priests the contract of cohabitation […] and the customary things, and (concerning) the female child born to us from each other, named Ammonarion, […] for the child as we may jointly decide at the time […] we request […] Year 17 of Caesar, Pharmouthi 8.

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.
