I, Taorseus daughter of Orsenouphis, my mother being Thaesis, with as guardian my brother by the same father and the same mother, Orseus, acknowledge that I have sold according to the Egyptian contracts to Psosneus son of Andronikos, his mother being Thaesis, the half share belonging to me of a paternal two-storey house, held in common and undivided, and all its appurtenances, in Tebtynis, of which the neighbours of the whole house are: on the south […] the house of […] son of Herodes and his brothers; on the north and east, plots of the same sons […] of […]ouorios and his brother; on the west, the royal street. And I have received from Psosneus the agreed price in full, from hand to hand out of the house, and I will guarantee the sale with every guarantee always for all time, as aforesaid. Written on their behalf by Eutychos son of Eutychos, because they do not know letters. I, Psosneus son of Andronikos: the sale has been made to me as aforesaid.

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.
