EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Protarchos from Tryphaina daughter of Dioskourides. […] agreed […] […] the parents […] […] of Tryphaina, that they should give me in marriage to him, he being my guardian and [of] those lodging with him, according to the completed agreement made through the court under you, he received for the marriage a house and, credited to me as dowry, clothing worth 40 drachmas of silver and 20 drachmas of coined silver. But the accused Asklepiades, since he grew discontented (?) during the cohabitation, for no reason, having squandered (?) the aforesaid, maltreats me and insults me and, laying hands on me, treats me as he would not even a purchased slave. [Therefore], having been wronged (?), I have sent my father Dioskourides to submit the memorandum and to complete the departure, (asking you) to send him one of the officers of the court, who will carry out my departure as is proper and will deliver to Asklepiades a copy of this memorandum, so that […] he may either contest it or pay me the 60 drachmas of silver, and further also […] to Dioskourides for the expense of the […], which in detail amount to 66 drachmas of silver, and since we have also come to damage and expenses, (that you deal) with him as a hater of wickedness, so that I may be helped. […]

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.
