You therefore are to possess and own, with your descendants and those who succeed you, the houses and vacant plot sold to you by me as aforesaid, and to carry off all the proceeds from them from the present year, and to use and manage them as you choose; and I shall of necessity guarantee them to you permanently against all claims with every guarantee, and free from the registration of men and from the cultivation of royal and estate land and from every kind of impost and every debt and every sort of attachment and from anything else whatsoever; and I shall repel at once at my own expense, as though by legal judgment, anyone who proceeds against or lays claim to them in any way whatsoever.

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.
