Fragment mentioning a sale and a mother named Tais TM 17830Panopolis217 - 218

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 from Panopolis, dated AD 217-218, that mentions a mother named Tais, the number twenty, and repeated forms of the verb 'to sell'. It may come from a sale or a related record, but too little survives to be sure.

In English machine translation

[…] […] […] […] […] […] […] my (?) […] […] mother Tais[…] […] have sold (?) […] […] twenty […] […] have sold (?) […] […] […] […] […] […] Dionysa(?) […] […] […] […] brother/sister […]

The repeated verb 'have sold' hints at a sale contract or a declaration about one, but only isolated words survive.

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