Fragment of a lease (?) describing land and cattle-stalls TM 154321OberägyptenVI

The same ancient text or artifact as recorded by 2 records across 2 independent projects, recognised as one entity by its TM-Text identifier. View on Trismegistos →

A small fragment of a Greek document, possibly a lease, describing property: a quarter aroura of land, a half share, and cattle-stalls with boundaries such as the east side. It dates to the 6th century AD and comes from Upper Egypt.

In English machine translation

[...] [...] those associated with Phmoint... [...] [...] a quarter of an aroura [...] [...] of a half share [...] [...] of the cattle-stall ... [...] [...] east of the wine-presses (?) [...] [...] of another cattle-stall [...] [...] as far as the [...] [...]

Identification as a lease is tentative; the surviving phrases could belong to any property document with boundary descriptions. The reading 'wine-presses' for λην[...] is a guess from a broken word.

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