EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
I, […]kle(?), am the one who writes to greet Amoses and Psate, my God-loving (brothers), who are honored in every way. Behold, a long time (has passed) and I keep making a request (?) day after day that you send me the book; you have not sent it. Now do not trouble your heart much. If you wish to send the tremissis to me, send it now. What you will send me will set my heart at rest. Do the kindness of sending me the pound of wool. Your money (?) […]. 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.
