EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
I, Frange, the least, am writing, greeting and saluting my beloved father Isaak and all those with him. I greet you greatly with the whole fullness of my soul. Do the kindness of sending my brother Papnoute to take a few small vessels (?) to the crossing (?) for my Amamen (?), for they do not know the road and cannot go to the […]. Farewell in the Lord. Give it to Isaak, from Frange.

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.
