The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →
Fragment of a private or business letter from Stratippos, apparently asking the recipient to give a quantity of barley to Lamprokles at a price of 12 drachmas (per artaba). It comes from Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome and dates to the 1st century AD.
The text is broken off on the right, so the exact request and quantities are lost; the price of 12 drachmas is probably per artaba of barley.
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Brief). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
