[recto] After the consulship of Flavius Vibianus, vir clarissimus, and of the one to be proclaimed, Phaophi 10, 3rd indiction. To Flavius Ioannes son of Taurinus, enrolled in the military staff (taxis) of the Thebaid, from Aurelius Victor son of Bekis, his mother being Pia, from the village of Terton Psake in the Hermopolite nome. I acknowledge that I have voluntarily and of my own free will leased from you for a period of six years, from the crops of the prosperous fourth indiction, the 6 arouras belonging to you in two places, of which 4 arouras are in the one place in the tax district of my village, and the remaining 2 arouras in the other place in the tax district of the village of Leukos Pyrgos, for the sowing of whatever crops I choose, the fixed rent for these each year being 36 artabas of wheat and barley in equal halves, which rent I will measure out to you in the month of Epeiph each year without delay, new, clean, sieved, by the Athenian measure, at the threshing floors of the same village. The lease is valid and secure, and having been asked I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Victor son of Bekis, the aforesaid, have leased as stated above. I, Aurelius Phoibammon son of Hermodoros, from Hermopolis, having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. […] Written through me, Phoibammon. [verso] Lease of Victor son of Bekis from the village of Terton Psake in the Hermopolite nome.

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.
