EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
I, Frange, am writing and greeting his beloved brothers: the brother Papas and Charisie and her children. I greet also all your people, each by name, in the Lord. Greetings. Since my brother and friend Apa Merit told me, in the place of my father Isaac the holy one, 'They need a tunic of cloth for my little daughter', see, I took her trouble upon myself and sent it. God is the one who knows: I gave a keration for it and did not find it well woven (?). Another (one) … 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.
