Aurelia Tetoueis, daughter of Hatres, her mother being Tapaeis, from the village of Karanis, acknowledges to Aurelia Kottina, daughter of Ammon, from the city of the Arsinoites, of the quarter of Phremei, that she, the acknowledging party Tetoueis, has received and had measured out to her from her as a loan in kind 27 artabas of clean wheat including the half-share (interest), total 27 artabas, which she shall of necessity repay to Kottina in the month of Pauni of the third indiction in the city by the four-choinix measure; and upon demand Kottina shall have the right of execution against the acknowledging party Tetoueis and against all her property, as if by legal judgment; and having been asked the formal question she acknowledged. I, Aurelia Tetoueis, the aforementioned, have received the 27 artabas of clean wheat including the half-share and will repay as stated above. I, Aurelius Tryphon son of Timotheos, wrote on her behalf, she being present and illiterate. Executed through me, Paulos. [verso] Note of hand of Tetoueis from Karanis, 26 artabas of wheat.

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.
