But if, as may happen, he should decide to cast her off without any reasonable cause whatsoever, he shall pay her by way of penalty 3 pounds of gold […] […] And the aforementioned Euprepia also agrees in return to live with the aforementioned most admirable ⟦Aquilinus⟧ blamelessly, and to obey him in all things, and to follow him wherever he may wish in this province and as far as Alexandria and only there, and to do nothing contrary to what is proper […] Furthermore the most admirable ⟦Aquilinus⟧ agrees to keep Victor, the child born of the aforementioned ⟦Euprepia⟧ by her former husband, and moreover also […] received from her […] and to cherish and bring up the children who may be born of him […] who may be born, 1 pound of gold. And that they will keep these terms, the parties on each side swore by God Almighty and the piety and victory of our gloriously victorious master Flavius Justinian, eternal Augustus and emperor, and after the oath again agreeing to the force of this marriage […] […]

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.
