† In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Written in the month Mesore 16, indiction 1. †
I, Souai, son of the late Paham, the man of Tse, write to Phane son of Petros, the man of Jeme. † Since I besought you and you gave me one holokottinos less (?) (a fraction), because I needed it, so that I will sow one stiōh (measure), less (a fraction), of flax (?) for you in return for it in my field in the sowing of the 1st indiction, God willing, crop of the 2nd indiction, you asked me for a security to secure you. Now I am content and I acknowledge that I owe you, clearly and unreservedly, one holokottinos less (a fraction) of gold, total 1 1/2 (?) solidus less a part. By the will of God I am ready to sow one stiōh, less (a fraction), of flax for you in my field and to give it three waterings, without any neglect or delay, until the season, so that you will not have to ask me about anything concerning them, because you have paid me their price according to the way I agreed with you. To secure you I have drawn up this undertaking having the form of a security, and I besought trustworthy men and they witnessed it. † † I, Souai, the one who wrote first, agree. †
† I, Aristophanes son of Papnouthios, the man of Tseou, in the nome of the city of Keft (Koptos), am witness.
† I, Zacharias son of Ioannes, the man of Tk..., with our neighbours, am witness. †
† Written by me, Komes son of the late Abraham, from Tse. †

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.
