Ὀρσενοῦφις ὁ καὶ Ψοσνεῦς Καλάλου γέρδιος ὁμολογῶ ἐπάναγκον ἐκδιδάξειν Ἑλένην παιδίσκην Ἡρακλήωνος Εἰρηναίου τὴν γερδιακὴν τέχνην καθʼ ἃ
καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπίσταμαι ἐπʼ ἔτη δύο καὶ μῆνας ἓξ
ἀπὸ μηνὸς Φαρμοῦθι τοῦ ἐνεστῶτος δευτέρου
καὶ τεσσαρακοστοῦ ἔτους Καίσαρος, τρεφομένης
καὶ ἱματιζομένης τῆς Ἑλένης ἐπὶ τὸν γεγραμμένον χρόνον. δώσω τῇ Ἑλένῃ χιτῶνα ἄξιον ἀργυρίου δραχμῶν ὀκτώ . ἐὰν δὲ μὴ διδάξω, ἢ διδάξασα κρίνηται μὴ εἰδυῖα, ἐπάναγκον αὐτὴν ἐκδιδάξεις τοῖς ἰδίοις μου ἀνηλώμασιν
καθότι πρόκιται. ἔγραψεν ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ Ἡρώδης
Ἡρώδου ἀξιωθεὶς διὰ τὸ μὴ εἰδέναι αὐτὸν γράφειν.
Ἡρακλέων Εἰρηναίου ἐκδέδομαι τὴν
προκιμένην παιδίσκην καθότι
πρόκιται.Translations (1)
I, Orsenouphis also called Psosneus, son of Kalalos, weaver, agree that I am bound to teach Helene, slave girl of Herakleon son of Eirenaios, the weaving trade as I myself know it, for two years and six months from the month of Pharmouthi of the present forty-second year of Caesar, Helene being fed and clothed during the stated time. I shall give Helene a tunic worth 8 drachmas of silver. If I do not teach her, or if, having been taught, she is judged not to know the trade, I shall be bound to teach her at my own expense, as stated above.
Herodes son of Herodes wrote on his behalf, having been asked, because he does not know how to write.
I, Herakleon son of Eirenaios, have given out the aforementioned slave girl 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.
