After the consulship of Leo the Younger, of divine memory, year 1, Phaophi 22, 15th indiction.
[…] to the respected scriniarius of the military office (taxis) in the Thebaid […], from the Aurelii Theodoros son of Ioannes, mother Sophia, and his full brother Sois, of the same parents both, farmers from the same city. We acknowledge, being mutual sureties and mutually responsible for each other, […] that we have voluntarily and of our own free will leased from your admirableness […] for a period of six years from the crops of the fortunate coming first indiction […] the 18 arouras belonging to your admirableness situated in […] of the same city in two locations: in one location, near the farm called Pa…am[…], 12 arouras, and in the other location, on the east of the so-called […], the remaining arouras […], to be sown with whatever crops we choose, at the rent mutually agreed for these, fixed per year, of 14 imperial gold solidi of good quality less 28 carats on the public standard of the same city, total 14 gold solidi less 28 carats, which gold rent we shall pay jointly in the month of Phaophi of each year, annually; and in addition to the aforesaid gold rent we shall supply 4 artabas of lentils and 16 artabas of arakos chaff. The lease is valid and secure, and having been asked the formal question we gave our assent.
We, the Aurelii Theodoros son of Ioannes and his brother Sois, the aforesaid, have leased jointly as stated above. I, Aurelius Taurinos son of Asemios, from Hermopolis, having been asked, wrote on their behalf because they do not know letters.
I, […]phibi[…], deacon from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from those who made it.
I, Aurelius Theoph[…] son of […]nos, from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from those who made it.
I, Aurelius […] son of […]stion, from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from those who made it.

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.
