EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Athenodoros to Sokrates, most honoured, greetings. I believe that my lord the procurator has also sent to you about having reported to him the stones lying in the quarry from his own cutting (?) up to the day before the Kalends of January. Please, then, inform me too in writing, so that in accordance with your letter a report may be sent to him. ⟦…⟧ I pray for your health.

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.
