EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] I, Frange, am the one writing with his own hand, greeting his beloved good father, God-loving, the priest Papa. I greet also my beloved brother Petros. Your son. Farewell in the Lord. [verso] Do the great act of love and fill a kalithe (jar) of oil for the brother whom I told you about, namely Kyrikos, and 2 maje of wheat for hand-milling (?), and let him bring them to me when he comes to the mountain of Jeme, so that the Lord may bless you and your cattle.

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.
