EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
Philokles to Auizinas, most honoured, very many greetings. Receive from the donkey-drivers three bundles of cabbage, of which you will give one to Julius and one to Timotheos and one to yourself, out of the three. Receive also another one, which makes four, of which you will take two for yourself and one for Julius and one for Timotheos, as you instructed me. Greet Julius and Timotheos and all those with us.

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.
