I, Orseus son of Patynis, my mother being Tasokis, the aforesaid sale of a ninth part of a vacant lot has been made to me, as stated above. Diodoros son of Herakleios wrote for him, because he does not know letters.
We, Chaireis son of Apollonios, his mother being Thenobestis, and my wife Taagoreis daughter of Papnebtynis, her mother being Heraeis, acknowledge: I, Chaireis, that I have sold according to Egyptian contracts to Orseus son of Patynis, his mother being Tasoukis, the ninth part belonging to me of a walled vacant lot and of all its appurtenances, held in common and undivided, in Talei of the Polemon division, the neighbours of the whole vacant lot being: on the south, a common entrance and exit; on the north, the house and courtyard of Papnebtynis son of Phasis; on the west, the lot of Kollouthos son of Patynis; on the east, a royal street; and I have received the agreed price in full, and I will guarantee the sale with every guarantee for all time. And I, Taagoreis, the aforesaid wife of Chaireis, consent to the sale and (agree) not to proceed against it for all time, and we will do the rest as stated above. I, Chaireis, have written also for my wife, who does not know letters.

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.
