EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] [...] from the city of the Hermopolites, from Aurelius Banes son of Esaias, baker, from the village of Helios in the Hermopolite nome. I acknowledge that I have willingly and of my own choice leased from you for one year only the farm called 'of Lechios', of however many arouras it is. I am ready to irrigate (?) the same farm with my own animals, which are also fed by me, without dispute, without neglect and blamelessly. It has been agreed that I shall receive the fifth share of what is sown on the farm, that is 3 1/2 1/4 arouras, and 1 gold solidus less 6 carats. The lease is valid and secure, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Banes son of Esaias, the aforesaid, have leased as stated above. I, Aurelius Victor son of Anastasios, having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. † I, Apollos son of Iakybios, deacon, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it. † I, Aurelius Dioskoros son of Elias, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it. † Through me, Victor, with God, notary. [verso] Lease made by Banes, baker, † for the farm called 'of Lechios'.

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.
