Sale of Part of an Orchard via HGV-meta
Sale of a seventh share of a garden at Kellis. A fragmentary deed of sale from 4th-century Kellis in the Dakhla Oasis, in which two or more Aurelii of Kellis sell to Aurelius Pebos son of Pamour a seventh share of a garden for 5,000 talents of silver. The boundaries are bare plots of the sellers and of Elias; the end preserves a consent clause and a subscription by someone writing for illiterate parties. machine translation

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.
