After the consulship of our masters Licinius Augustus for the 6th time and Licinius the most noble Caesar for the 2nd time, and the consuls to be designated for the 2nd time. To Valens, former protector and pr[…], the Aurelii Orsenouphios son of Panotbeus, his mother being Taas, and Aphynchis son of Aphynchis, his mother being Thaesis, both from the village of Posompus in the 5th pagus of the Oxyrhynchite nome, and Kopreus son of Dioskoros, his mother being Tengogis, residing in the same village of Posompus, greetings. We agree, swearing the revered divine oath of our masters the unconquered emperors, to undertake the cultivation: I, Panotbeus (?), of 7 1/2 arouras of those belonging to our wife Thermouthis and to her sister Thaisous, and we, Aphynchis and Kopreus, for our part likewise to keep to the cultivation of another 7 1/2 arouras, which together make the 15 arouras formerly cultivated by Kornelios, the father of Thermouthis and Thaisous, at the rent previously paid, without delay, so as to be blameless in every respect, or may we be liable […] […] […] […] and Kopreus […] the formerly cultivated (?) arouras […] […] and in answer to the formal question we gave our assent. I, Aurelius […], wrote on their behalf since they do not know letters.

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.
