Sale of a Slave via HGV-meta

Public confirmation of the sale of the slave woman Dioskorous. A notarial acknowledgement from Oxyrhynchus in which Agathos Daimon also called Dionysios confirms before Gaius Julius Germanus an earlier private sale of his slave woman Dioskorous, aged about 25, for 1,200 silver drachmas. It records payment of the price, payment of the sales tax by the buyer, and the seller's guarantee of title; the end is lost. machine translation

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.
