Affitto di vigneto via HGV-meta

Sharecropping lease of a vineyard by the vine-dresser Aurelius Menas. Fragmentary end of a lease of a vineyard from 6th-century Hermopolis, in which Aurelius Menas son of Hoop, a vine-dresser, undertakes the vineyard work for a landowner in return for half of the wine and fruit, plus customary gifts of a piglet, cheeses and wine. It closes with signatures of a scribe writing for the illiterate Menas, witnesses, and the notary Petros. machine translation

[… lines lost …] […] for the manual vine-dressing work and every care […] and setting of reeds and good cultivation and digging around […] fifth each year, blamelessly and without neglect, on condition that you, the landowner, receive half share of all the wine produced and of the fruit of the various trees and dates, and that I together with the cultivator receive the other half share in return for the labours we perform. And I will provide each year by way of custom one piglet worth 3 carats and 150 cheeses […] […] at the time of the vintage, and of old wine 2 (?) large jars […]. The present lease is valid and guaranteed, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Menas son of Hoop, the aforesaid, have leased as stated above. I, Aurelius […] son of Ioannes, from Hermopolis, having been asked, wrote on his behalf, as he does not know letters. I, Aurelius […] son of Ioannes, from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from the parties. † I, Aurelius Kollouthos, notary, son of Petros, from Hermopolis, witness this present lease agreement and signed, having heard it from Menas the vine-dresser, who is also the party. † † Written through me, Petros, notary, with God.

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.
