Fragment of a contract TM 27075Dura - EuroposII

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 contract from Dura-Europos, dating to the 2nd century AD. Only scattered words survive, including references to something or someone free, an agreement, and heirs.

In English machine translation

[…] … […] […] and he himself […] […] … […] […] and … […] […] … free (?) […] […] to agree […] […] … in […] […] to the heirs […] […] this … […] […] … […]

The mention of heirs and of agreeing suggests a contract, possibly involving a free person or a manumission, but too little survives to be sure.

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