[…] his […] share out of the whole […] planted (emphyteutically) for me by him on account of the agreement concluded between you, entrusting […] to your Excellency each year the amount laid down in it […] three full-weight gold solidi each year as compensation (?) […] accordingly I have made for you this written and inviolable agreement of mine, by which I acknowledge that I am ready, whether the land is flooded or unflooded, to give you each year without delay the entire three full-weight gold solidi of the perpetual rent, in the month of Phaophi, from the crops of the present tenth indiction and thereafter for as long as this written agreement of mine remains in force with you.
Moreover I will also pay you another six full-weight solidi once only for the just past ninth indiction, at my own risk and from the resources of all my property. This agreement is valid and binding, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.
† I, Aurelius Abraham son of Phoibammon, agree to this agreement as set out above. I, Philippos, lawyer, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters.
† I, Aurelius Petros son of Phoibammon, from Hermopolis, witness this agreement, having heard it from the party who made it.
† † I, Phoibammon son of Viktor, from Hermopolis, witness the lease, having heard it from the party who made it.
† Written through me, Philippos, notary, with God's help […]

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.
