I voluntarily undertake to lease, for the present 10th and 8th year only, from the land belonging to you in the dyke-enclosure of Pektu, in the plot called Karabos, out of the southern 10 arouras, in the western parts towards the south, the 2 1/2 arouras lying fallow, by survey, or however many they may be, for sowing with flax, at a rent for each aroura of 4 talents of silver, all free from every risk, the public dues on the land being the responsibility of you, the landowner, who will have control of the crops until you receive what is owed. If my offer is confirmed, I shall of necessity pay the money rent in the months of Pauni and Epeiph of the same year without delay, the right of execution lying with you against me as is proper. The offer is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.

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.
