Reconnaissance d’une dette (?) via HGV-meta

Acknowledgement of debt for seed, irrigation and rent of flax land. A loan-style acknowledgement in which Psais, a deacon of Aphrodite, owes the village headman Dioskoros son of Apollos 1 gold solidus less 2 carats for the seed, irrigation and rent of 1 aroura to be sown with flax. It appears to be a land lease framed as a debt, drawn up at Aphrodite in the Antaiopolite nome in AD 547. machine translation

[recto] In the reign of our most divine master Flavius Justinian, the eternal Augustus and Emperor, year 21, in the 5th year after the consulship of Flavius Basilius the most glorious, Mesore 4th intercalary day, 11th indiction. † Psais, son of Besios, his mother being Tasais, deacon from the village of Aphrodite in the Antaiopolite nome, † to the most admirable Dioskoros son of Apollos, protokometes from the same village, greetings. I acknowledge by this my written security that I owe you and am indebted to you, for the seed and the irrigation and the rent of 1 aroura in grain-bearing plots with well-watered surroundings (?), east of the road of the place called Athanasia, near fertile (?) land, on condition that I hold it for the planting of flax, at the sowing, God willing, expected in the 12th indiction, and to deliver to you, for the third instalment of the public taxes of the 11th indiction, 1 gold solidus less 2 carats by the goldsmiths' standard; total 1 gold solidus less 2 carats goldsmiths' standard, without any dispute or delay, my earlier handwritten bond [...] for the other 2 arouras in the holding of Piahse remaining valid also now, in accordance with the same security. And for your security I have issued this security with the signature of the one signing on my behalf; and having been asked the formal question, I have consented. I, Psais son of Besios, the aforesaid, agree as aforesaid. I, Aurelius Promauos son of Hermauos, having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. † I, Flavius Theoteknos son of Psais, former praepositus, witness the contract, having heard it from the party issuing it. I, Aurelius Abraham son of Victor, witness the debt, having heard it from the party issuing it. I, Aurelius Horouonchios son of Anouphis, witness the debt, having heard it from the party issuing it. † Written through me, Pilatos, with God, notary.

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.
