Marcus Lucretius Clemens, cavalryman of the First Cohort of Thracians, troop of Silvanus, called to witness those who were about to seal, and swore by Jupiter Best and Greatest and the divine spirits of the deified Emperors and the genius of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus, that a natural son, Serenus, had been born to him during his military service from Octavia Tamusta on the 7th day before the Kalends of May in year 11 of Imperator Caesar Trajan Hadrian Augustus.
[He said that he had made this attestation because of the constraints of military service]
[inner text]
so that after his honourable discharge he may be able to prove at his examination (epikrisis) that his son is his natural son.
Done in the winter camp of the above-written cohort opposite Apollonospolis Magna of the Thebaid, on the Kalends of May in the above-written year.

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.
