Tasoucharion daughter of Sotas, through her brother Eudas […], to Cassianus, decurion of the ala Veterana Gallica, sent by Volusius Maecianus, the most illustrious prefect, for the purchase of camels for the use of the ala. I have sold to you by this handwritten contract 2 full-grown male white camels, branded on the right hind thigh with 'ta', and I have received the agreed price […] silver drachmas […] and I will guarantee them against every claimant. I have issued this handwritten contract to you in duplicate, which is to be valid wherever it is produced, while […] remains; I, Eudas, issued it to you, there being another handwritten contract of sale of camels in my possession. Year 2 of Aurelii Antoninus and Verus the lords Augusti, Hathyr 15.

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.
