Beginning of a contract (?) with consular dating TM 128685Hermopolites1. Febr. 472

The opening of a document, probably a contract, from the Hermopolite nome, dated by the post-consulship of Emperor Leo and Probinianus to 1 February 472. Only the date and the name of one party, Theophilos son of Phoibammon and Thasis, survive.

In English machine translation

[After the consulship of Flavius Leo the] eternal Augustus for the 4th time and of Flavius Probinianus, vir clarissimus, Mecheir 6, 10th indiction. … Theophilos son of Phoibammon, his mother being Thasis […]

The identification as a contract is only a guess based on the formulaic opening. 'Most illustrious' renders the senatorial rank title lamprotatos (vir clarissimus).

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Contract (?) with Consular Date). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
