To Flavius Theodoros, vir clarissimus, landowner,
from Aurelius Elias son of Tourbon, from the village of Psobthis of the ninth pagus of the Oxyrhynchite nome, greetings. I voluntarily undertake to lease from the property belonging to you in the fields of the same village of Psobthis, from a water-machine equipped with all its wooden fittings and ironwork, one yoke formerly held by Aeiox son of Aphous, and the vineyard formerly held by Anouthis, with the 8 arouras attached to it, or however many they may be, in accordance with the former assessments, […] of the new eleventh indiction in perpetuity, on condition that I lease and pay the rent previously paid and all the extraordinary charges like the other water-machines, in accordance with the assessments, and that I draw […] water for the aforesaid vineyard. And if the undertaking is confirmed to me, I shall necessarily pay the rent at the proper time without delay. The lease, written in duplicate, is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.
I, Aurelius Elias, the aforesaid, have leased the half of the water-machine or yoke formerly of Anouthios, and I shall pay the rent previously paid from the new eleventh indiction and I shall pay all the extraordinary charges […] as stated above. I, Flavius Kastr[…]nos, […] having been asked, wrote on his behalf, he being present and not knowing 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.
