at the village of Seryphis […] and an entire dovecote and a house and courtyard with fixtures and all appurtenances, of all of which the neighbours are: on the south, Tasotas; on the north, a canal; on the east, a public street; on the west, vacant plots of other persons. The price agreed between us for all the aforesaid, 12,000 drachmas of the imperial silver coinage, which are 2 talents of silver, I have received on the spot, and on being asked I acknowledged that I have been paid by you from hand to hand in full. You are therefore to own and possess, with your descendants and those who will succeed you, the aforesaid property and building plots, and to use and manage them as you choose, and to have the right to sell to others; and I shall necessarily guarantee them to you for ever against all claims with every guarantee, and free from cultivation of royal and estate land and of every kind, and from every debt and every lien, public and private, and the grain-land and vine-land free from the work and water-guarding of the dykes, and also from the public taxes paid on them and from extra levies and assessments of every kind up to the intercalary days and including the intercalary days of the present year 1, because the produce of these from the coming year 2 belongs to you the purchaser, to whom also shall fall the taxes of every kind from the same coming year 2; and I shall at once repel at my own expense anyone who proceeds against you or lays claim, as if by a court judgment. The sale, written in triplicate, is valid, and whenever you choose you shall register it publicly through the record office, without needing my participation or any further consent of mine, because from now […]

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.
