[… lines lost …] […] for which, as fixed rent, 6 1/2 artabas of wheat and 6 1/2 artabas of arakos, which combined rents I will measure out to you in the month of Epeiph each year without delay, in new, clean, sieved produce, by the Athenian measure, at the threshing floor of the same village, the public taxes and dyke works of every kind being the responsibility of you, the landowners. The lease is valid, and having been asked the formal question I have agreed. Phamenoth 30. I, Aurelius Manos son of Paesios, have leased as stated above. I, Aurelius Silvanus son of Kopreus, having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. Written by me, Serenos.

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.
