To the riparii, that is, the dyke-supervisors (?) of the Hermopolite nome,
from Aurelius Tothes son of Anoubion, village headman of the hamlet of Pallas in the same Hermopolite nome, who signs below. I acknowledge, swearing the divine and venerable oath of our all-conquering master the eternal emperor Augustus, that I have stood surety for the remaining and appearance of Aurelius Pankolauchis son of Pollon, for the guard-duty of your office, that he will remain, fulfilling the post and the release of the waters of the guard service until the end of the water-guarding. If he falls behind or deserts, I myself will bear responsibility on his behalf, or may I be liable to the divine oath and to the danger concerning it; and having been asked the formal question, I have agreed.
In the aforesaid consulship, Mesore 27. I, Aurelius Tothes, stand surety as stated above.

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.
