[To so-and-so son of so-and-so] […] in charge of the record office (grapheion) […] of Soknopaiou Nesos […] from Tesenouphis son of Tesenouphis. If the record office of the village of Soknopaiou Nesos in the division of Herakleides, which I held before, is conceded to me for the present seventh year of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, I undertake to pay as the total rent, together with the customary charges, the additional payments and the receipt fees, 288 silver drachmas, and for the libation of Phamenoth 2 jars of wine; I will pay these regularly each month of the same year on the 25th, and every four months I will register with you all the documents transacted through me, in one roll glued together and strung, and in one register, and I will give you 8 drachmas for the registration of the books, and I will provide you with a sufficient and reliable guarantor, if it seems good to you to make the concession, on all the above terms. Farewell. […] on the aforesaid 288 (drachmas) of silver and the other (terms), you having the right to sublease to others […] at any time. Year 7 of Tiberius Claudius Caesar Augustus Germanicus Imperator, month Sebastos 14.

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.
