[Upper lines, different hand] […] Artemidoros son of Pamphilos […] 20 artabas of wheat, being brought (?) […] […] daughter […] Zois […] [Main text] From Ammonios son of Ammonios, of the Althaean deme, and his wife Semele daughter of Ammonios, a citizen woman, with her guardian, the said Ammonios, and from Artemidoros son of Artemidoros, of the Althaean deme. Concerning the matters on which we have reached a settlement, we agree with one another on the following terms: whereas Ammonios and Semele have given to Artemidoros their daughter Ammonarion […], being of full age, as wife for partnership in life, and she has brought to him as dowry clothing, gold ornaments and an episemon, all valued at 300 drachmas of silver, Artemidoros, having from now received the aforesaid dowry by hand from the house, shall from now supply Ammonarion with all necessities and clothing as befits a wedded wife, according to his means, and shall not ill-treat her, nor insult her, nor cast her out, nor bring in another wife, nor commit any other forbidden wrong against her; and if he transgresses any of these terms, he shall pay back the aforesaid dowry, Ammonarion having the right of execution upon Artemidoros himself and upon all his property, as if by a court judgment. In the same way, Ammonarion shall not be permitted to spend the night or the day away from the house of Artemidoros without his consent […] [… 9 lines lost …]

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.
