[recto] † In the name of the holy and consubstantial Trinity and of our Lady the Mother of God and of all the saints. In the reign of our master Flavius Phocas the eternal Augustus, year 2, Phamenoth […], 7th indiction, in the city of the Arsinoites. Aurelius Phib son of Gerontios, from the hamlet of Meliton North of the Arsinoite nome, to Flavius Georgios son of the late P[…], councillor from the city of the Arsinoites, greetings. I acknowledge that I have leased from you the newly planted, enclosed vineyard plot belonging to you in the plain of our hamlet, in the place called Phani, of whatever area in arouras it is, with the date palms and all its rights, for as long a time as you wish, from the present month Phamenoth of the current seventh indiction. I have received for the work one scraper (?) and one wood-cutting tool, and I receive from you as wages, until the vintage, for each single aroura one third of a gold solidus and 6 artabas of wheat, per aroura 1/3 solidus by current standard and 6 artabas of wheat. After the harvesting of the dates you are to take two parts and I one part, and when, with God, the plot is harvested, you are to take three parts of the run-off of the wine and I one part, I providing the empty jars for my share. I shall give each year 6 cheeses, for which I have already received from this 1 2/3 artabas of wheat. I am to receive at the festival 1 kouri of wine, and I shall give at the vintage 1 piglet worth 2 carats and 1 kouri of must and the sieve. And having been asked the formal question, I agreed. Phib son of Gerontios: it is satisfactory to me as stated above. † … † Through me, Menas, it was signed (?). † [verso] † Lease of a vineyard plot in the plain of the hamlet of Meliton North by Aurelius Phib son of Gerontios to Flavius Georgios, councillor. †

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.
