[…] […] under the supervision of those from the village of Phbu in the Hermopolite nome. I acknowledge that I have of my own free will and choice leased from you for a period of ten years, reckoned from the crops now in the fields of the eleventh indiction which is, with God, about to begin, and thereafter, the vineyard plot belonging to the same holy monastery, planted with living vines, of however many arouras it comprises, together with a complete cistern and a water-wheel and a cattle-shed and wooden apparatus and a reed-bed and every right, lying in the place called Siklous under the supervision of those from the same village of Phbu in the Hermopolite nome, for my own manual labour and weeding and setting up of reeds and reed-work and the fences of square (?) […] and digging around five times a year, and to apply all diligence and goodwill on the same estate blamelessly and irreproachably, on condition that the same holy monastery receives half of all the wine that will be produced, and that I together with the farmer receive the other half in return for the labours we perform; and to sow the small plots […] lying to the east of the same vineyard and that I receive their produce without rents. And I shall provide each year the customary jars (?) of the vintages […]. And I may not withdraw from the […] service before the completion of the same ten-year period […] with the help of the laws, our helpers […] not to transgress […] The lease is valid (?) […] […]

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.
