To the consuls to be designated for the 3rd time. To Dioskourides, logistes of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Horigenes son of Cornelius and Kalamois, leather-worker, and all their partners, from the same city. We agree, swearing the revered divine oath of our masters the invincible emperors, that we will without fail and of necessity devote all care and service and the customary waterings without interruption to the persea tree recently planted by higher order beside our houses on the street (dromos) of Psis, so that it may live and flourish always, and further that we will keep watch and guard over the enclosure of the rebuilding (?) of the same persea tree, so that no blame shall follow; otherwise may we be liable to the divine oath. In the aforesaid consulship, Pharmouthi 3. We, Horigenes and Kalamois, have sworn the divine oath as stated above. I, the same Horigenes, wrote on behalf of the other, who does not know letters. Street of Psis, south side, from the house-plots of Horigenes […] the persea tree, 9

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.
