EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
I, Frange, the sinner, am writing and greeting his beloved lord and good brother Apa Ananias. I myself say with all my heart: if there is need today, tell me about a matter of yours, so that I may do it with all my strength until I do it for you now. If the matter pleases you, send my brother Enoch with a little basket (?) to me, so that I may give him the vessels and he may bring them to the one who is dying (?) for me. Farewell in the Lord.

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.
