EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[recto] † In the 2nd consulship of our master Flavius Anastasius, eternal Augustus, Phaophi 4, indiction 6. To Flavius Strategios, the most magnificent and most glorious comes of the devoted domestici, son of the most extraordinary and all-famous former consul Apion, landowner here in the splendid and most splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, Aurelius Joseph son of Abraamios, mother Anna, registered farmer (enapographos), from the hamlet of Papsaou, an estate of your Magnificence, of the Oxyrhynchite nome, greetings. Since there has again now been need of one axle for the irrigation machine of the estate of your Magnificence under my charge, called 'of Thryeitis', which draws water for a vineyard and for arable land, I came up to the city and asked your Magnificence to order this to be supplied to me for the completion of the machine's equipment, and at once your glorious Greatness, taking care of its own affairs, supplied me with the same axle, new, fit for drawing water and satisfactory, through the agent here. Having received it on this present day, which is the fourth of the current month Phaophi of the present year 174 143, of the present sixth indiction, for the sowing and crops of the seventh indiction, I agree to carry out the water-drawing and supply of water blamelessly, to pay the rents faithfully, and to comply in all matters pertaining to the estate account. The handwritten deed, written in a single copy, is valid […] […] ☧ Written by me, Sarapammon. October 1, indiction 6. [verso] Handwritten deed of […] registered farmer. […]

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.
