[recto] To Flavius Kyr[…], former(?) prefect of Egypt, through The[…], [from the village of] Phebichis in the 11th pagus of the Herakleopo[lite nome], Aurelius Maximos son of Melas, from the same Phebichis, greeting. I acknowledge that I have received and had measured out to me from you, for the sowing of the auspicious coming 8th indiction, of pure wheat, together with the interest of one half (hemiolia) already included, eighteen and a half and a quarter artabas, 18 3/4 artabas, which I shall of necessity, after the new harvest, return from the new crops at the threshing floors of the same village by Mesore 30, by the tenth-measure with which I myself received it, without dispute. And if, when the aforementioned threshing floor has been agreed upon, I do not make the repayment, I shall pay you also for the overdue time the hemiolia on them, you having the right of execution upon me and upon all my property. This contract, written in a single clean copy, is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. [… lines lost …] [verso] † Maximos son of Melas […]

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.
