Fragment of a contract of sale for grain-bearing land in the riverside strip of Pathyris, drawn up before Hermias, deputy of the agoranomos (notary) Paniskos. The parties are described as Persians of the epigone; only the opening and the start of the boundary description survive. It dates to 109-98 BC.
The tainia was a strip of land along the Nile subject to inundation. "Persian of the epigone" is a Ptolemaic legal-ethnic designation rather than a statement of actual Persian origin.
