Akousilaos son of Dion to all those appointed to official posts in the Arsinoite nome, greeting. I swear by Caesar Imperator, son of the God, that I will without fail cede to Socharmos son of Asklepiades the kleros belonging to me of 10 arouras, or however many more it may be, near Boubastos in the division of Herakleides, whose neighbours on the south, north and west are canals, and on the east the vineyard of Apollonios son of Herakleides, together with the rent for the current third year of Caesar, [...] 70 artabas by the measure [...] of the village, because I have received the price of the kleros, 800 silver drachmas. If I keep my oath may it be well with me, if I swear falsely the opposite. I will also produce my mother Apollonia daughter of Herakles as consenting and receiving no payment. Zenon son of Zenon wrote on his behalf, having been asked, because he writes rather slowly. Year 3 of Caesar, Tybi 15.
I, Akousilaos, will cede the kleros. I have sworn as stated above. Year 3, Tybi 17.

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.
