[recto] † In the reign of our most divine and most pious master, greatest benefactor, Flavius Tiberius Constantinus, the eternal Augustus and Imperator, year 7, and in the consulship of the same our most pious master, year 3, Thoth […], indiction 15. To the reverend Epimachos, overseer of the divine house, son of Ioustos of blessed memory, from this splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, Hareotes, priest of the holy church, son of Phib, his mother being Erebekka, originating from the estate of Apel in the Oxyrhynchite nome, greetings. I acknowledge that I have received from your reverence as a loan, from hand to hand out of the house, for my pressing needs, 3 solidi of gold current on the private standard, total 3 gold solidi on the private standard, and I agree to pay these to your reverence in three instalments as follows: in the month of Hathyr of the present year 258/227 of the present fifteenth indiction, 1 gold solidus; in the month of Hathyr of the coming first indiction another 1 gold solidus; and in the month of Hathyr of the future second indiction the remaining 1 solidus, without deduction. And if I prove ungrateful in the repayment of the first or second or third instalment, your reverence shall take possession of and enjoy the half-aroura belonging to me as my own property inherited from my parents, lying at the water-wheel called Kylles […] in my same estate, north of the cistern, together with the proportional share of the same cistern and every right, and from it recover the sufficient amount of the same debt, at the risk of my property, which is pledged for this. The document, written in a single copy, is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Hareotes, priest, son of Phib, the aforesaid, have made this document for the three solidi in accordance with the above statement, and everything written in it is satisfactory to me as set out above. I, D[…], wrote on his behalf since he is illiterate. ☧ Through me […] [verso] † Document of Hareotes, priest, son of Phib, from the estate of Apel, for 3 gold solidi on the private standard.

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.
