[fragment 1]
To Theon, overseer […] of the nome and […]
from Stotoetis son of Harpagathes, grandson of Pakysis, from the village of Soknopaiou Nesos. I wish, voluntarily and of my own free choice, to be granted the concession for […] years from the month of Tybi of the present fifth year of Antoninus Caesar the lord […]
[fragment 2]
[…] and I will pay into the account of the purchase as rent […] drachmas of silver […] sixty obols […] until you grant the concession, and […] each year 8 drachmas, free of deductions and risk, the payment of which I will make by bank transfer each month in equal instalments of the amount due, the sums paid to other accounts for the administration being my responsibility, Stotoetis. It shall not be permitted to me to have a partner or a hired worker who becomes liable to the tax, you having the right to grant concessions to others as well, if it seems good to grant them.
(Docket) I, Theon, through Theon, have received a copy of this.
Year 5 of Antoninus Caesar the lord, Phaophi 12.

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.
