Description | P.Grenf. I 54: Lease The papyrus contains a complete lease of 40 arouras near Hiera Nesos (Arsinoites), from Fl. Vitalianus to Fl. Aegyptus Comitianus for the following 8th indiction, at the rent of 3 artabas of wheat and half an artab of barley for each aroura. Written in a regular, semi-cursive hand. The subscription of Fl. Aegyptos is written in a different hand. Before the notarial signature is a cross but the ed. notes that "the signature of the scribe is, as often happens, a mere scrawl". See Diethart and Worp 1986: 52 (and pl. 17, no. 25.2.1) and also P.Col. VIII 237 and Choat 2006: 117. On the verso is written the title of the document (misthosis). |
