EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
From Aurelia Helene […] of the city, acting without a guardian in accordance with Roman custom by the right of children […] […] Aurelius Didymos agrees that he has ceded the 4 1/2 arouras formerly belonging to him and […] by sale made in the past […] year, in the month P[…], in the eastern toparchy of the Oxyrhynchite nome, and Aurelius Didymos has received from Aurelia Helene the price, in accordance with a handwritten cession, in full. Therefore Aurelia Helene, with her descendants and those who will succeed her, shall hold and own the same 4 1/2 arouras […] and manage and administer them in whatever way she chooses, and Aurelius Didymos shall make no claim concerning them, nor shall anyone else on his behalf in any way […] [… lines lost …] […] […] […] […] dike-guarding (?) […] […] public […] up to the present year itself, because the revenues from them from the coming year belong to Aurelia Helene […] […] handwritten cession […] […] be destroyed, not requiring […] […] to the same through the public […] and anyone who in any way whatever proceeds against or lays claim to them on this account, he himself will repel immediately at his own expense, as if by a court judgment. Asked by the purchaser whether these things have been rightly and properly done, the seller agreed.

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.
