The Aurelii, Hol son of Kopres, his mother being Apillas, from the village of Philadelphia, komarch for the current year 3 and 2, and Cornelius son of Posis, his mother being Iouliane, from the same village, to one another, greetings. Since I happen to be komarch of the same village, we have accordingly agreed with one another that I, Hol, shall nominate you, Cornelius, to the komarchy of the same village for the coming year, you serving the prescribed term of one year; and when I (?), Cornelius, have completed it, in like manner I too shall nominate your full brother Dioskoros for the following year, he too serving the same one-year term; and likewise that I, Hol, have stood surety […] the brother Dioskoros for the same period, so that it shall not be permitted to either of us to transgress the terms written in the agreement by force; and if either wrongs the other concerning this, the transgressor shall pay to the one abiding by it, as penalty and on account of the injury, 2,000 drachmas of silver, because they have agreed with one another on these terms; and having been asked the formal question, we have acknowledged it.
Aurelius Hol, aged about 30, with a scar above the right eyebrow.

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.
