EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
I, Sousanna, am writing, greeting her beloved brother, the good Frange, and my good brother Moyses, the God-lover. Do me the kindness (lit. do the love) and pray once for me; perhaps God will bring us up out of this year, which is hard; my troubles are hard (?). Farewell in the Lord. The Holy Trinity †

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.
