[…] voluntarily and of our own free will to have stood surety for Aurelius Hermaios also called […], councillor of the same city, chosen for the supervision and transport of meat, whom we shall also produce, fulfilling blamelessly the supervision entrusted to him, and (who) will furnish the customary receipts for the delivery of the meat. But if he deserts his post and we do not produce him, we ourselves shall undertake the liability on his behalf, or may we be liable to the divine oath and to the penalty concerning this; and having been asked the formal question, we agreed.
In the aforesaid consulship, Pharmouthi 9.
I, Aurelius Artemidoros son of Sarapion, stand surety as aforesaid. I, Aurelius Olympios son of Hermes, stand co-surety with him as aforesaid.

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.
