Sale of a Slave via APIS-papyrus
Subscription to the sale of the slave woman Thaeisarion to Eudaimonis. This is the seller's subscription to a contract of sale, in which Herodes, also called Herakleides, son of Lysimachos, sells to Eudaimonis a slave woman named Thaeisarion, about 32 years old, whom he had inherited from his mother. He acknowledges payment in full and guarantees the sale, excepting only certain diseases and running away. It dates from the 1st century AD, from Tebtynis in the Arsinoite nome. machine translation

Ἡρώδης ὃς καὶ Ἡρακλείδης Λυσιμάχου ὁμολογῶ παρακεχωρηκέναι Εὐδαιμονίδι Ἡρώδου κατὰ δὲ τὴν
ὁμολογίαν ταύτην ἀπὸ τῆς ἐνεστώσης ἡμέρας ἐπὶ τὸν ἅπαντα χρόνον τὴν ὑπάρχουσάν μοι μητρικὴν
παιδίσκην δούλην ᾗ ὄνομα Θαεισάριον, ὡς ἐτῶν τριάκοντα δύο , μέσην μελίχροῦν μακροπρόσωπον
εὐθυρίνην, οὐλὴ προσώπῳ, ταύτην τοιαύτην ἀναπόρριφον πλὴν ἐπαφῆς καὶ ἱερᾶς νόσου.
καὶ ἀπέχω παρὰ τῆς Εὐδαιμονίδος τὴν συγκεχωρημένην τιμὴν πᾶσαν ἐκ πλήρους διὰ χειρὸς ἐξ οἴκου, καὶ βεβαιώσω τὴν πρᾶσιν πάσῃ βεβαιώσει πλὴν δρασμοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστα ποιήσω καθὼς πρόκιται.Translations (1)

And I have received from Eudaimonis the agreed price in full, by hand, from the house, and I will guarantee the sale with every guarantee except for flight, and I will do everything as stated above.

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.
