in the holding of Athenodoros, four and one half, one quarter, one eighth arouras, total 4 7/8 arouras, at a fixed rent agreed between us of 4 artabas of wheat for each single aroura, total 4 artabas, which rent I will pay you at the time of the vintage without delay, by the Athenian measure, at the threshing floor of Pouampoimenis, the public taxes being your responsibility as landowner.
The lease is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.
I, Aurelius Silvanus son of Pollon, have leased as stated above. I, Aurelius […], having been asked, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters, and it was written through me.

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.
