Copy for issue (?). Year 17, Pachon 1.
I, Kronion son of Herodes, acknowledge that I have sold to Didymos son of Didymos, by this present agreement, from the present day for all time, the sacred land belonging to me near Ptolemais Melissourgon, land held by virtue of cultivation (apo katergasias), in one parcel, 5 arouras or however many they may be, whose neighbours are: on the south, dry land; on the north, formerly the land of Petermouthis and now the land of Herakleios; on the west, royal land and in part purchased dry land; on the east, royal land.
And I have received the agreed price in full, by hand, from the house, and I will guarantee the sale with every guarantee, against all public debts and all special levies of every kind for the past years up to the past fifteenth year and the fifteenth year itself of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, and against private debts and every claim for all time, together with the rent of the present sixteenth year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, the lease of the cultivator for the same year remaining in force. My lawful wife Thermouthis daughter of Alkimos consents to this sale and (agrees) not to proceed against it for all time nor to bring a charge, nor (will) anyone else on her behalf, as stated above.
I, Kronion, have written on behalf of my wife since she does not know letters, and I have signed as her guardian.

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.
