Fragment of a land lease with rent in kind TM 219328Theben (Karnak-Süd)10 - 111 (?)
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 very fragmentary Greek text that appears to be a land lease, mentioning a regnal year of a Caesar, a rent of 3 artabas per aroura, probably barley, and public dues or land. It comes from Thebes (South Karnak) and dates to roughly AD 10-111.

The identification as a lease rests on the partial word for 'leased' and the per-aroura rent; the text is only described in its edition, not fully transcribed. An aroura is an Egyptian land measure of about 0.68 acres, and an artaba is a dry measure for grain.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
