Aurelius Hierax son of Paesios, his mother being Silvania, from the village of Scharto in the Great Hermopolite nome, to Aurelius Theodoros son of Harpokration, from the Oxyrhynchite nome, greetings. I acknowledge that I have sold and delivered to you at the market of the Upper Kynopolite (nome) a male donkey, mouse-coloured, that has not yet shed its teeth, for the price mutually agreed of 6 talents 3,500 drachmas, which I have received from you from hand to hand, the guarantee in respect of every guarantee being incumbent on me the seller always and against all claims; and in answer to the formal question I gave my assent.
In the consulship of our lords Valerius Licinianus Licinius Augustus and Flavius Valerius Constantinus, son of the emperors, on the day before the Kalends of January.
I, Aurelius Hierax, have sold and received the price, as stated above.
I, Aurelius Horion, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters.

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.
