Description

First five lines of a letter in Latin. The text mentions an orthographus leg( ) n( ) (which is perhaps to be expanded leg(ionis) n(ostrae) rather than leg(ati) n(ostri), though the rank of orthographus legionis is unknown), and palaeographically for the use of a short overwritten horizontal stroke (not unlike an accent) as a substitute for the n in praesens.

About this record's data

From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
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 — APIS (Advanced Papyrological Information System) — papyri.
