[recto] † After the consulship of Flavius Opportunus, vir clarissimus, Pachon 19, fourth indiction. To Aurelia Kyra also called Eust[…]ia, the most noble daughter of Abraamios of learned memory, from the city of the Hermopolitans, from Aurelius David son of Paesios, mother Tapia, farmer from the village of Pselamynthis in the Hermopolite nome. I acknowledge that I have voluntarily and of my own free will leased from your nobility, for as long a time as you hold the mortgage made to your nobility by Archontia […] from the same city, starting from the crops now in the fields of the prosperous fourth indiction, the 7 arouras of unirrigated land mortgaged to your nobility by the same most noble Archontia, lying in the plain of the same village, for sowing and planting with whatever crops I choose, at a fixed annual rent for them of 30 artabas of wheat and 6 artabas of barley, which rent, new, clean and sieved, I will pay and measure out by the Athenian measure in the month of Epeiph at the season of harvest each year without delay. The lease is valid and binding, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius David son of Paesios, from Hermopolis, have leased as stated above. I, Aurelius Theon son of Papnouthios, from Hermopolis, having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. I, Aurelius Ammonios son of Gerontios, from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it. I, Aurelius Horos son of Pet[…], witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it. I, Aurelius Isakos son of […]tos, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it. Written through me, Poution (?) […] [verso] Lease of David […] † […] [… 1 line lost …]

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.
