Aurelius Pausanias son of Valerius, former magistrate of the city of the Mothites, to Aurelius Psais son of Pamour, from the village of Kellis of the same city of the Mothites, greetings.
I acknowledge that I have granted to you, by a perpetual and irrevocable gift, from now for all time, from the building plots belonging to me on the east of the village of Kellis, a plot for building, measuring on the south and north 15 builder's cubits, and on the east and west 25 cubits. Neighbours: on the east, building plots of me, Pausanias; on the west, the camel-yard (?) of Horos son of Mersis; on the south, the house of you and your son and […] of yours; on the north, a public street; or whoever may be neighbours on all sides; so that you may possess and own it and manage and administer the plot granted to you, by free will, in whatever way you choose, the guarantee following upon me always against anyone who will make a claim or counter-claim. Let the deed of gift, written in a single copy over my signature, be valid and secure as if deposited in the public archive, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.
In the consulship of Flavius Delmatius, brother of our lord Constantine Augustus, and Domitius Zenophilus, the most illustrious, Hathyr 1.
(Signature) I, Aurelius Pausanias son of Valerius, former magistrate, have granted the aforesaid unbuilt plot as stated above, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.

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.
