In the consulship of Flavii Clementinus and Probus, the most glorious, Thoth 7 of the seventh indiction.
To Flavius Ioannes, the most esteemed, son of Taurinus of pious memory, from the city of the Hermopolites, from Aurelius Phoibammon son of Paesios, his mother being Troile, from the hamlet of Syntapouo in the tax district of the village of Ptemmenkyrkis in the Hermopolite nome.
I acknowledge that I have willingly and of my own choice leased from your esteemedness, for a period of four years reckoned from the crops of the coming eighth indiction, God willing, inclusive, the half share belonging to you of the dry (uncultivated) arouras, however many they are, together with a half share of the cistern and all its rights and of the large and the small water-wheel, situated in the plain of the same village of Ptemmenkyrkis, for sowing and harvesting whatever crops I choose, on condition that your admirableness, if I should be able to sow the same dry land, shall receive a half share of all the crop that will be produced on it, according to the agreements made between me and her, and shall claim from me rent for the same half share of the water-wheels, and that I shall have the other half share in return for the labours I perform; but if I should not be able to sow the dry land, I shall provide you with the rent of the same half share of the two water-wheels each year, in the same way as all the farmers there.
The lease is valid and binding, and having been asked the formal question I agreed.
I, Aurelius Phoibammon son of Paesios, the aforementioned farmer, have leased as stated above. I, Aurelius Victor son of Basileides, from […], having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters.
I, […], from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it. I, Aurelius Theon son of Dioskoros, from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it. I, Aurelius Serenus son of Kyros, from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it.
Executed through me, Hermogenes […].

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.
