Aurelii Syrion, elder(?) […], and Heraklianos also called Sarapion, both from the city of Oxyrhynchus, have leased to Aurelius Ammonas son of […]ras, his mother being Tauseiris, from the village of Psobthis of the eastern toparchy, for 4 years from the current year 3, the 6 arouras of royal land, or however many there may be, registered in the name of Strati[…] son of […]on near the same Psobthis, so as to sow and cut each year one half with wheat and the other half with green crops, the rent and payment each year per aroura being, for the land in wheat, 8 artabas of wheat, and for the land in green crops, 44 drachmas, free from every risk, the public dues on the land each year falling on the lessors, who are to have control of the crops until they receive what is owed each year. If, which may it not happen, any land in the following years becomes unflooded, it will be allowed to the lessee. He, the lease being guaranteed, shall measure the yearly wheat into the public granary at his own expense and shall deliver the receipt to the lessors at the first measuring, clear of all charges, and shall pay the yearly money rent in the month of Pauni, the right of execution lying against him and all his property. The lease is valid.
Year 3 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Pius Felix Augustus, Phaophi […].
I, Aurelius Ammonas son of […]ras, have leased the land for the 4 years and I will pay the aforesaid as stated above. I, Aurelius […], son of […]ogenes, wrote on his behalf.

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.
