Nomos shall credit this grain to Aristolochos towards the rent of the eleventh year. If he does not credit it, but Aristolochos is made to pay this grain by Nomos or by anyone else in any manner whatsoever, or if some royal impediment arises preventing this grain from being credited to Aristolochos on behalf of Nomos, Nomos shall pay to Aristolochos as the price of each artaba of wheat which is exacted or not credited to him 10 drachmas, and Aristolochos shall have the right of execution against Nomos, exacting payment according to the ordinance. This contract shall be valid wherever it is produced. Witnesses. [verso] [… 4 lines lost …] Diokles son of Hippolysos, Cyrenaean of the epigone

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.
