[…] the right of execution [being yours against all my property, as if by a legal judgment], the written deed of the debt is valid and guaranteed, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.
I, Aurelius […]os, the aforementioned, owe to your Piety the aforementioned 5 (?) animals, [at] a price of 17 solidi and 1/2 cartload of hay and 6 cartloads of chaff, and I will repay whenever you wish, as stated above. As witness, I, Elemon, deacon, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. I, Silvanus son of Pheous, deacon, bear witness to the contract, having heard it from the party who made it. I, Aurelius Panouphis son of Leon, […] of the village of […], bear witness to the contract, having heard it from the party who made it.
Written by me, Asterios, scribe.

About this record's data
- From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
- AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
- Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
- Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
- Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
