[recto] In the consulship of Flavius Olybrius, vir clarissimus, Pauni 9. Aurelius Herodes son of Antoninus, from the village of Theadelphia of the Arsinoite nome, to Aurelius Agathos son of Atis, from the same village, greetings. I have received from you, in full settlement of the share falling to me of the inheritance belonging to our Asaueis (?), that is to say, one gold solidus, both for your security and so that from now on I have no claim against you concerning any matter at all, neither concerning the inheritance nor anything written or unwritten. I have issued to you this security, which is valid, and having been asked the formal question I have assented. I, Aurelius Herodes, the aforesaid, have received from you, Agathos, one gold solidus on account of the share falling to me of the inheritance, and from now on I have no claim against you about this, as stated above. I, Aurelius Heron son of Zakaon, from the city of the Arsinoites, wrote on his behalf since he is illiterate. † Through me […] completed. [verso] Receipt (?) of Herodes to Agathos.

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.
