[recto]
After the consulship of our masters Theodosius for the 16th time and Faustus, the most illustrious, Pachon 20, of the seventh indiction. The Aurelii Timotheos son of Papeeis, and Psammau son of Pekysis, and Ouenaphris son of Leonides, and Atesis son of Paulos, and Kalaon son of Ision, and Hol son of Leeis, and Ouenaphris son of Sambe, and Serenos son of Isidoros, and Papnouthios son of Amaeis, and Hol son of Heron, and Apphous and Serapion, priests, and Paeieous and Sabinos and Isak and Sokrates and Asem, deacons, and the rest, small and great, of those from the village of Karanis.
No one of the village shall have the right to draw water to Thanesamen, nor shall anyone of the same village have rights over the plots in front of the same Thanesamen. For this reason we have made this deed, swearing by God Almighty and the Victory of the masters of the inhabited world, Theodosius and Valentinian, the eternal Augusti. If we find anyone of the same village of Karanis drawing water to Thanesamen and we break them (?), we shall have no blame from anyone of the village; and for this reason we have made this deed as a security for you, and it is agreed as stated above. I, Aurelius Serenos, scribe of the same village, wrote on their behalf, they being present and illiterate, and I bear witness. And as for the one who has been grazing on their pastures from the beginning, let no one come against him. I, Flavius Ioannes, numerarius of the governor's office of the province of Arcadia, was present and bear witness.

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.
