Hermias son of Beltistos […] to […], son of (?) […]tereus, […] in the village of O[…] of the Hermopolite nome, greetings. I acknowledge that I have sold to you the cow belonging to me, fire-red in colour, with crooked horns, and I have received from you the agreed price of 120 silver drachmas, total 120 silver drachmas, and I will guarantee it with every guarantee. If she displeases you, I will give back the money within three days (?) and you may reject her. Year 13 of Imperator Caesar Nerva Traianus Augustus Germanicus Dacicus, Pachon 18. Duplicate. I, Ammonios son of Hermias, wrote the body and wrote on his behalf, since he does not know letters.

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.
