Dionysios also called Petseiris, son of Sara[…], of those from the city of Oxyrhynchus, has leased to […] son of Philiskos, of those from Pe…e… […] of the Kynopolite nome, Persian of the epigone, for two years, that is two inundations, from the present third year of Imperator Caesar Vespasianus Augustus, the land belonging to him near Thmoithothis in the upper toparchy: from the kleros of Pitholaos, 10 arouras, so that in the present year he shall cut these for fodder (?) sown with chickling, at a fixed rent of 7 1/2 artabas of wheat, and in the coming year sow them with wheat at a fixed rent of 55 artabas of wheat; and from the kleros of […], another 5 1/8 arouras, so that in the present year he shall sow these with wheat at a fixed rent of 20 artabas of wheat, and in the coming year cut them for fodder (?) sown with chickling at a fixed rent of 10 artabas of wheat. The lessee acknowledges that he has received from Dionysios 10 artabas of wheat as seed, which he will repay to him together with the rents of the coming year. The yearly work on the dykes of the 10 arouras and their guarding shall be the responsibility of the lessee, who shall also hand them over worked and in good condition in the coming year, or else pay Dionysios the fixed 80 silver drachmas. Everything shall be free from all risk, the public dues on the land being the responsibility of Dionysios, who shall also have control of the yearly crops until he has recovered what is his. The lease being guaranteed, the lessee shall pay Dionysios the yearly rents always in the month of Pauni, and together with those of the coming year also the seed, at the threshing floors near the settlement of Nigrou, in new wheat, clean, unadulterated, free of barley, by the four-choinix measure […], or else pay as the price of each artaba that he does not deliver […] bronze drachmas. And Dionysios shall have the right of execution both upon the lessee and upon […] […]

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.
