[recto] † In the year after the consulship of Flavius Basilius, vir clarissimus, Phaophi 11, indiction 7. To Flavius Apion, the most magnificent consul ordinarius, landowner also here in the splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, through Menas, servant, who makes the stipulation and acquires for his own master, the same most renowned man, the right of action and obligation, Aurelius Pamouthios, steward (phrontistes), son of Andreas, mother Sophia, originating from the hamlet of Little Tholthis, an estate of your magnificence in the Oxyrhynchite nome, registered farmer, greetings. Since there has now again been need, for the estate water-wheel under my charge called 'By the River', which irrigates arable land, of one sinorganon and one hilasterion and one curved wheel (kyklas), I came up to the city and asked your magnificence to order that these same machine parts be supplied to me. And at once your glorious house, taking care for the maintenance of its own affairs, had them brought down to me in the fields from its acacia groves which are on my same estate, new, suitable for irrigation, satisfactory, and I received them for the completion of all the machine equipment on this present day, which is Phaophi the eleventh of the current year 220/189, of the present seventh indiction, for the irrigation of the crops of the eighth indiction, God willing. And as proof of receipt I have made this handwritten document, which is valid, written in a single copy, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. † I, Aurelius Pamouthios son of Andreas, the aforesaid, have made this handwritten document, having received the machine parts, one sinorganon and one hilasterion and one curved wheel, in the manner set out above, and everything is agreeable to me as stated above. I, Theodoros son of the late Phib, having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he is illiterate. ☧ Executed through me, Iustus, subdeacon. † [verso] † Handwritten document of Pamouthios son of Andreas from the hamlet of Little Tholthis, of receipt of 1 sinorganon and 1 hilasterion and 1 curved wheel.

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.
