Lease of Land (P.Lond. III 1007(b-c), TM 22778), and Agreement on Debts (P.Lond. III 1007(a), TM 22777)
- Scope & Content:
-
Recto (P.Lond. III 1007(b-c), TM 22778): Five-year lease of land located in Tarrouthis between Aurelius Apollos alias Phellos, the lessee, and his daughter Aurelia Eudoxia, the lessor. Eudoxia had been gifted the land by her paternal uncle. The text was written in two hands on two sheets, wrongly pasted together; the beginning of the text is on the lower half.
Verso (P.Lond. III 1007(a), TM 22777): Draft of an agreement concerning the conveyance of some articles of plate that had been given as security of some loans, which the debtor is now unable to pay back. The debtor offers these articles to obtain a full discharge of the debts; the creditor (a woman) at first refused on the grounds that the items were of inferior value, but eventually accepted.

Medium-brown papyrus, made up of two sheets with opposite fibre orientation glued together; displaying some surface damage; written on both sides. On the front, there are 24 lines; the first 14 are written on the first sheet along the fibres; the other lines are written across the fibres in a different hand on the second sheet; this second sheet, although having been pasted at the bottom, contains the beginning of the text. The back was reused to host one document of 33 lines, written upside down in relation to the text on the front, and running partly along the fibres on the upper sheet, and partly across the fibres on the lower sheet. The papyrus is housed in a glass frame.
