Aurelius Amaeis, cavalry soldier of the ⟨ala⟩ A…arinorum, of the turma of Flavianus, to Aurelius Heron, cavalry soldier of the same ala, greetings. I have sold to you a male horse, with its first teeth (?), honey-coloured, for the price agreed between us of 1,300 drachmas of silver in full, paid from hand to hand, the guarantee being incumbent upon me against every claim from anyone who may proceed against or lay claim to it. The sale is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.
I, Aurelius Amaeis, soldier, have sold the horse and received the price of 1,300 drachmas of silver in full, as stated above, and I have been asked the formal question. I, Aurelius Serenos, legionary soldier, wrote on his behalf because he is illiterate.

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 30619 (see that record)
