EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
I, Teiatshau (?), the woman, am writing and greeting my beloved brother Frange in the Lord. Since you spoke to me about the five seven(?) pieces of wax(?), behold, they have come into my hands. If someone comes in about the wheat of the kolbyon (?), send him word so that I may load the camel with wheat for you, by the decree of God. Behold, the offering: I have sent it by the hand of Papnoute.

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.
