Title Bid for confiscated property
Author Ptolemais
Summary A bid for the purchase of confiscated property. The bid is from Ptolemais, daughter of Agenor and granddaughter of Philiscos, submitted to Aelius Aphrodisios, strategus of the Oxyrhynchite nome, in the name of her daughter, Claudia Areia, for 16 arouras of catoecic land put up for sale near the epoikion of Artapatou in the middle toparchy. Ptolemais offered 3200 drachmas for 16 arouras, or 200 drachmas the aroura, a price which suggests that the land was still productive. Ptolemais and her daughter Claudia Areia, whom she mentions three times by name, owned all the land adjacent to the property upon which she was bidding. The right of neighbours to buy perhaps added weight to the bid, even when the land was in the hands of the fiscus. Neither Ptolemais nor Claudia Areia can confidently be identified in the papyri published up to now, but the husband and father was presumably a Klaudius Areius. He may have belonged to the family of Tiberius Claudius Areios who had served as strategus of the Heracleides division of the Arsinoite nome two generations earlier, 98-101

Support/Dimensions 1 papyrus ; 18 x 24 cm
Condition The papyrus is holey and the most of theholes follow the same pattern, which means that they were made when the papyrus was still unopened. A small fragment of c. 1 x 1 cm seems not to belong to this papyrus. I can read "adou" on the side the fibers run along, and finds no position in the present text. On the other side, where the fibers run across, the papyrus fragment is blank (NL)
Lines 15 lines
Recto/Verso Source of description: recto
Hands The text on the back of the papyrus across the fibres is a petition. The scribe cut the papyrus to fit his petition and he gave no thought to the consequences for the writing along the fibres on the other side of the papyrus.

APIS Translation (English)

To Aelius Aphrodisios, strategus, from Ptolemais, daughter of Agenor and granddaughter of Philiscos, from Oxyrhynchos, mother of Claudia Areia, through the scribe Hermes. I would like to purchase for my daughter, Claudia Areia and however she styles herself, from the property offered for sale near the epoikion of Artapatou of the middle toparchy, sixteen arouras of catoecic land out of the kleros of Seimias, the neighbours on all sides being I and my daugher, Claudia Areia, for a price of 3200 drachmas. When my offer is confirmed on these terms, I shall pay the total amount in her behalf to the public bank ...; for the rest, hoever, we shall be totally without obligation, but the ownership will rest with Claudia Areia and her descendants and those acting for her.
