Fragment d’un contrat via HGV-meta
Arrangement for a vineyard estate held for the memory of a deceased brother. Fragment of a Byzantine-period document from Aphrodito in which an elderly man explains that his late brother Hermauos left him by will an estate to administer for pious offerings and love-feasts in his memory. After the estate was ravaged in hard times, he entrusted it to Besarion son of Dioskoros and his brother Apollos, who replanted it as a vineyard. 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.
