[… lines lost …] […] his hand, that he should write them down […] when the Saracen […] that is, Charah, he asked […] of the village, he found it, that you had sent their apargyrismos (money commutation) down. He stood up before you, namely Charah the Saracen, saying: 'I did not receive apargyrismos for the work of the village, except for the person (?) of the village whom he had compelled with us.' We went and hired the workmen of the village. So we came and asked you to take the apargyrismos which we had given, that you might write it down to be reckoned to the account of Theodosios the zygostates (weigher), to whom you gave the gold, and since he lives in Shotep and he is the one who is weigher in that place, he having repaid the said amount of gold for the workmen of the village to you, you returned it to us into our hands. Now therefore I acknowledge that one tremissis and two carats has come into my hands, being their value, so that I shall be unable to proceed against you, whether I or my heirs or any person at all; whoever shall dare shall pay 3 solidi as penalty for the matter, the public account being confirmed thereby through your most glorious lord. I have drawn up this acknowledgement for you, agreeing to it, at risk to myself and all my property in the matter, swearing by the name of God Almighty and the safety of the lords who rule, that we will keep ourselves according to the way we first wrote. They asked me and I acknowledged. † I, Kollouthos son of Valens, agree to this acknowledgement in its force, and I agree that one tremissis and two carats came into my hands. I, Markos son of Kyrillos, with God priest, being asked, wrote for him and bear witness. † † Hermauo (?), Theodosios, with God deacon, I am witness to this acknowledgement in its force. † ☧ I, Petros son of the blessed Makare, am witness to this acknowledgement in its force. † † I, Ezekias son of Chamoul, am witness to this acknowledgement in its force. † † Through me, Theodoros, with God notary. † † †

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.
