Year 7 of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, the 9th of the month Neos Sebastos, at Karanis in the division of Herakleides of the Arsinoite nome. Satabous son of Petheus, about 30 years old, with a scar on the right forearm, has leased to Chairemon son of Sokrates, about 22 years old, with a scar on the right cheek,
(and acknowledges) that he has granted to him for the sowing of arakos 3 arouras out of the 6 arouras of catoecic land of my father Petheus which I hold, […] as fodder for sheep […] of the 7th year of Tiberius Caesar Augustus, for which I have also received […] the price in advance, without prejudice to you regarding other things that I owe you.
Subscriber for the lessor Satabous:
Satabous son of Petheus to Chairemon son of Sokrates. I acknowledge that I have leased to you and I will act in all respects as stated above, apart from the other things that I owe. I, Petesouchos son of Petalos, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters.

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.
