EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
First, I greet my beloved brother Frange in the Lord. Since you told me, 'If you trust me, send the garment (?) to me by him', according to your wish, now I trust and I submit to the dust of your holy feet. But I want you to come in to me, so that we may meet you. Otherwise, the thing is ready. Do the kindness and trouble yourself and come in and take the garment (?). 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.
