EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] 27 In the seventeenth year of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, Phaophi 21, at Tebtynis in the division of Polemon of the Arsinoite nome. Herakleia daughter of Hermes, about 39 years old, without distinguishing marks, with her guardian, her kinsman Lysimachos son of Lysanias, about 72 years old, with a scar on the right side of the neck, acknowledges to her own husband Herakleides also called Valerius, son of Herakleides, about 57 years old, with a scar on the left knee, that she, Herakleia, has appointed by this agreement her husband Herakleides also called Valerius to sell, in her own name through him, the house-born slave belonging to Herakleia, Athenarion, just as she is, not subject to return except for epilepsy and the sacred disease, on the personal good faith of Valerius himself, at whatever price he may find, to the buyers who will come forward, the guarantee of title resting in every respect upon Herakleia; and whatever price Valerius receives for Athenarion he will hand over to Herakleia. The terms agreed are valid. I, Herakleia daughter of Hermes, with my guardian, my kinsman Lysimachos son of Lysanias, have made the appointment of my husband Herakleides also called Valerius to sell the slave Athenarion as stated above. I, Lysimachos, wrote also on her behalf, since she does not know letters. I, Herakleides also called Valerius: the appointment has been made to me, and whatever price I receive I will restore to Herakleia as stated above. Registered through the record office at Tebtynis, through Lourios. [verso] Appointment to Valerius.

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.
