[… lines lost …] […] has received from him, Isidoros, […] 500 drachmas of silver, the [remaining] nursing fees, and for oil and all other expenses for the three years during which Sarapias, the slave of Thenkebkis, suckled and nursed the male slave-child born to Isidoros from a slave woman belonging to him, Eudaimon, also called My[…], whom he also received back on the spot […] the rest […] and that Thenkebkis had previously received […] of the suckling and nursing […] part, by hand without a written record; and that neither Thenkebkis herself nor those [acting for her] will proceed against him concerning what she has received and previously received as stated above, the wages for the slave-child Eudaimon also called My[…], nor concerning any other matter at all up to the present day in any way, the fee fixed for the notification having been paid. […] Thenkebkis daughter of Kronion also called Sarapammon, with her guardian, her husband Marsisouchos son of Maron: I have received from Isidoros the remaining drachmas of the nursing fees for Isidoros' slave-child Eudaimon also called My…, whom my slave Sarapias suckled, […] and I make no claim concerning these matters nor concerning earlier ones, as stated above. I, Marsisouchos, wrote also on behalf of my wife, since she is illiterate.

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.
