EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] I, Frange, am writing, greeting his brother Jacob and his mother, the God-loving. Do me the kindness (agape), my brother Jacob, come to me with Ananias. [verso] I, Frange, writing with his own hand, greeting his beloved good brother Ananias. Get up and come to me quickly, quickly, so that I may consult you about this matter. Your heart will be at rest. Very, very much: do not delay at all in coming, lest your heart be troubled. 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.
