EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
To Demetrios also called Menandros, royal scribe of the Arsinoite nome, Polemon division, also administering the affairs of the strategia of the same division, from Kronion son of Cheos, from Tebtynis. I leased from Eirene daughter of Herakleides, near the village of Kerkesis, 12 1/2 arouras of a kleros, and of ktamia (?) 12 1/2 arouras. After I had carried out the agricultural work and the sowing on all the arouras, it happened that through a flood of the waters of the thicket (drymos) the arouras were under water in the past month of Phamenoth. I ask that a copy of this be delivered to Eirene through an attendant, so that she may know that I am not held liable for the rents from the present 10th year, as I am content with this declaration.

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.
