To Hermaios son of Apollonios, of the Philoklaudian tribe and the Althaian deme, exegetes of the Hermopolite nome,
from Apollonios son of Ammonios and Horion son of Horion, Hermopolites. We wish voluntarily to lease for five years from the present tenth year of Vespasian the lord all the property left in any manner whatsoever to his orphan sons by Sarapion son of Kastor from Kousai, and whatever else we may discover in the name of the orphan sons of the said Sarapion, at a yearly rent, apart from the artaba-tax per aroura and the naubion, of 600 silver drachmas {apart from the artaba-tax per aroura and the naubion}. And if we are asked for or made to pay anything else apart from the artaba-tax per aroura and the naubion, it will be credited to us out of the aforesaid rent. We will pay the rent each year in the month of Phaophi to whomever you, the exegetes, instruct. And if any land becomes unflooded or washed away by the river or covered with sand or eroded from the coming eleventh year, it will be credited to us out of the aforesaid rent proportionately. If it seems good, let a copy of this lease be posted for the proper ten days, so that, if no one makes a higher bid, the lease may remain secure to us for the five-year period without change. Year 10 of Imperator Caesar Vespasian Augustus, Phamenoth 23.
I, Horion son of Horion, have submitted it. I, Apollonios son of Ammonios, have submitted it jointly, as stated above.

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.
