To Ammonarion daughter of Syros, from Sarapion son of Paseis, from the village of Philadelphia. I wish to lease from you for two years from the coming 22nd year the 5 1/2 arouras of catoecic land belonging to you near the village of Philadelphia, at a total rent of 31 artabas of wheat, including the 5 artabas of wheat seed which I shall receive, free from deductions and risk, all the work being the responsibility of the lessee, and Ammonarion providing one yoke of oxen. And I shall pay the rent at the threshing floor in the month of Pauni, and after the term I shall hand over four arouras after a fallow crop of hay and the rest after stubble; the [...] of the public (?) [...] to be the responsibility of Sarapion, and those of the animals the responsibility of Ammonarion, if it seems good to lease. I, Nepous, have signed as stated above. [… 3 lines lost …]

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.
