Sheet (?) To Protarchos from Dionysarion daughter of Protarchos, with her guardian, her brother Protarchos, and from Hermione daughter of Hermias, citizen, with her guardian, her brother's son Hermias son of Hermias likewise. Dionysarion agrees that the agreement concerning the deceased son is void, which the deceased son of Hermione, Hermias son of Hermias, through his guarantor Hermione, submitted through the same court in year 21 of Caesar, Phaophi; and that she, Dionysarion, has received back from Hermione, from hand to hand out of the house, the dowry which she brought to Hermias through his guarantor Hermione: clothing worth 240 silver drachmas, earrings and a ring […], and 100 silver drachmas. The […] agreement shall be void together with everything set out in it, and neither Dionysarion nor anyone else on her behalf shall proceed against Hermione or against the property left by the deceased Hermias, either concerning the dowry or the marriage or anything else at all, written or unwritten, from past times up to the present day. And since Dionysarion is also pregnant, she shall not proceed against her concerning the expenses of childbirth, since she has been satisfied about these, and she shall be free [...] to expose the infant and to join herself to another man; and besides the validity of what has been agreed, if she transgresses she shall be liable for damages and the fixed penalty. We request (this). Farewell. Year 22 of Caesar, Pachon […]

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.
