If anyone lays hold of her, claiming to be owner, the acknowledging party will drive him off […] at his own expense, or else will restore to Herakleides the aforesaid price paid out by him. The sale is valid. Year 7 of Lucius Septimius Severus Pius Pertinax and Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, Caesars, the lords Augusti, month Hadrianos 2. I, Pallas son of Hatres, have sold the donkey and received the price, the 320 silver drachmas, and I will guarantee it 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.
