I shall dig the same plot a fourth time each year. And I shall give each year at the time of the vintage a piglet worth 6,000 talents of silver, and a platter full of various foods, that is worth 6,000 talents of silver, and 5 pounds of fish, and 1 sextarius of radish oil, and 50 pairs of soft loaves, and 1 double jar of old wine, and 1/12 artaba of raisins, without delay. The lease is valid and secure, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Serenos son of Sois, the aforesaid, have taken the lease as stated above. I, Aurelius Taurinos son of Kyros, from Hermopolis, having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. I, Phoibammon son of Stephanos, […] from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from the lessee. I, Aurelius Phoibammon son of Isakios, from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from the lessor (?). † Written by me, Phoibammon. [verso] […] Phbu son of […]

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.
