[recto] Emsigesis also called Berenike, daughter of Leonides, Persian woman, to Dionysios son of Kephalas, greetings. I acknowledge that I have received from you, on behalf of Horos also called Apollonios, my husband, the 45 artabas of wheat under the double contract (symbolon) which you made with him in year 54, which is also year 1, because he has fled and cannot be found, and that neither Horos himself nor anyone else on his behalf will proceed against you concerning the aforesaid double contract, which he has received in full, nor concerning any part of it, on any pretext whatsoever. If he does proceed, the action of Horos and of anyone proceeding on his behalf shall be invalid, and Horos shall pay in addition to Dionysios, for each time he proceeds, a penalty of 5 talents of bronze and the damages, and nonetheless this note of hand shall be valid wherever it is produced. Farewell. Year 7, Thoth […]. I, Thoas son of Apollonios, have written on behalf of the aforementioned Emsigesis, at her instruction, because she does not know letters. [verso] Note of hand of Emsigesis on behalf of Horos her husband: receipt for the loan of her husband, 45 artabas of wheat, which he has received.

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.
