ἐωνησάμην
περὶ ὑπάρχουσί μοι περὶ κώμην Καρανίδα
κλήρου κατοικικοῦ ἀρούρης 𐅵 ἐν τόπῳ Κοιλάδι λεγομένῳ.
ἐπεὶ οὖν παρορίζομαι ὑπὸ τῶν γειτόνων,
ἀξιῶ ἐπιταγῆναι τῷ τῆς κώμης κωμογραμματεῖ
γενέσθαι ἐπὶ τοὺς τόπους σὺν τῷ ὁριοδείκτῃ
καὶ ἀναμετρῆσαι τὴν πᾶσαν γῆν καὶ ἑκάστῳ
τὸ ἴδιον ἀποκαταστῆσαιTranslations (1)
[…] I bought
concerning the 1/2 aroura belonging to me near the village of Karanis,
of a catoecic allotment, in the place called Koilas ("the Hollow").
Since, then, I am being encroached upon by my neighbours,
I ask that the village scribe of the village be instructed
to go to the place with the boundary-surveyor
and to remeasure all the land and to restore to each
his own […]

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.
