Year 16, Pharmouthi 29. I, Didyme daughter of Petesouchos son of Chambouchis, with my husband Harpouonsis son of Orseus as guardian, acknowledge that I have sold to Marres son of Dionysios son of Kambouchis the one-third share belonging to me of a one-fourth share of a three-storey house and courtyard and all their appurtenances in Talei, held in common and undivided, of which the neighbours of the whole house and courtyard are: of the house, on the south the house of Petermouthis son of Orseus, coppersmith; of the courtyard, the courtyard of Zenon son of Ptolemaios; on the north the house of Anoubion and his brother, fuller; on the west the courtyard of Zenon son of Ptolemaios; on the east the royal street. And I have received from Marres the agreed and fixed price of the share sold, in full, from hand to hand out of the house, and I will guarantee the sale with every guarantee against all public and private claims and of every kind, as stated above. Herodes son of Herodes wrote for them because they do not know letters. I, Marres son of Dionysios son of Kambouthis: the sale to me has taken place as stated above. Diodoros son of Ptolemaios wrote for him because he 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.
