[recto] † In the name of the Lord and Master Jesus Christ, our God and Saviour, in the consulship of our same most pious master, year 19, Thoth 21, indiction 5. To Flavius Strategius, the all-praiseworthy and most magnificent consul, landowner also here in the illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites, through you, Flavius Dorotheos, the most admirable count and his administrator, Aurelius Georgios son of Menas, mother Manna, from the hamlet of Chineoreos belonging to your magnificence in the Oxyrhynchite nome, registered farmer of the same, greetings. Since there has now been need, for the water-wheel under my charge belonging to the estate, called […]chate, which draws water onto arable land, of one crooked wheel (?), I came up to the city and asked your magnificence to order that this be supplied to me. And at once, taking forethought for the maintenance of its affairs, it had this bought by me in the fields and the price for it credited to me against the money taxes of the fifth indiction; new, suitable for drawing water, satisfactory, I received it on this present day, which is Thoth 21 of the present fifth indiction, for the irrigation of the crops of the sixth indiction. This receipt, written in a single copy, is valid as set out above. † I, Georgios son of Menas, agree as set out above. I, Serenos, wrote on his behalf, as he is illiterate. ☧ Through me, Serenos […] [verso] † Receipt issued by Georgios son of Menas from the hamlet of Chineoreos […] 1 crooked 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.
