[Inner text] In the reign of Ptolemy son of Ptolemy and Berenike, gods Benefactors, year 7, when Agathokles son of Agathokles was priest of Alexander and the gods Adelphoi and the gods Benefactors and the gods Philopatores, and Philesous daughter of Demetrios was basket-bearer of Arsinoe Philadelphos, in the month Peritios, at Tholthis in the Oxyrhynchite nome. Zopyrion, Thracian, of the men of Philon, private, acknowledges that he has received from Aristolochos son of Stratios, Thracian of the epigone, and from Straton, Macedonian, thirty-aroura cleruch of those not yet under a commander, 150 artabas of wheat towards the rents of the kleros for the eighth year, in accordance with the contract of lease deposited with the contract-keeper Kallikrates, Hesperite, of the men of Philon, private, by which Zopyrion leased to Stratios, the father of Aristolochos and Straton. Let Zopyrion credit this grain to Aristolochos and Straton towards the rents of the ninth year. If he does not credit it, but Aristolochos and Straton are made to pay this grain by Zopyrion in any way whatsoever, or if some royal impediment arises so that this grain is not credited to Aristolochos and Straton on behalf of Zopyrion, let Zopyrion pay to Aristolochos and Straton as the price of each artaba of wheat, if they are made to pay or it is not credited to them, 10 drachmas, and let Aristolochos and Straton have the right of execution against Zopyrion, exacting payment in accordance with the regulation. This contract shall be valid wherever it is produced. Witnesses. [Outer text] [… 12 lines lost …]

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.
