To Flavius Dioskoros, son of Apollos son of Dioskoros of blessed memory, the most admirable, from the village of Aphrodite of the Antaiopolite nome, † Aurelius Georgios, son of Psaios son of Pharoous, his mother being Theonoe, from the village of Psinabla of the Panopolite nome, a shepherd, being one of the heirs of Psaios son of Besis, from the same village of Psinabla, greetings. I acknowledge willingly and of my own choice that I have leased from your admirableness for a period of one year, for the crops of the now coming, with God's help, fourth indiction, the pasturage belonging to you by inheritance of the whole farm of however many arouras it is, with all its rights, called Piah Pall…, of the holding of Akanthon, of the late Elias, former councillor, and of the whole farm called […], of its arouras, according to the boundaries of the heirs of Ko…tos of glorious memory […], lying in the southern plain of the same village of Aphrodite called Hieras Ananeias, […] shepherd, on the south Psilampon, on condition that I hold under me the aforesaid pasturage of all the arouras of the two farms with all their rights according to the boundaries, for grazing and for feeding my flocks, and that I pay you as rent, that is as the fee for the yearly grazing, 18 carats of gold by the goldsmiths' standard of the same village of Aphrodite. The lease agreement shall be valid and secure with the signature of the one signing for me and of the usual witnesses attesting below […], and having been asked on all points I have assented.

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.
