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 →
A small Greek papyrus fragment preserving only the ends of fifteen lines. The word "greetings" in line 2 suggests it opened as a letter or similar address, but too little survives to tell what it concerned. It dates to the 3rd to 2nd century BC and is held in Leiden.
The greeting formula in line 2 hints at a letter, but the surviving letters are too few to confirm this. The reading krisim- may belong to a word meaning "decisive" or "critical".
Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Fragment of a text of unknown character). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
