Malleveria via HGV-meta

Oath of surety for the residence and appearance of a villager of Paploou. A sworn surety declaration addressed to Flavius Olympiodoros alias Asynkritios, praepositus of the 1st and 2nd pagus of the Hermopolite nome. Aurelius Helenos son of Phibis, from the hamlet of Paploou, guarantees that his fellow villager Aurelius Ammonios son of Besarion will stay put and appear when required, accepting liability if he does not. It was written on 8 April 342 by a scribe because Helenos was illiterate. machine translation

EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
In the consulship of our masters Constantius Augustus for the 3rd time and Constans Augustus for the 2nd time. To Flavius Olympiodoros also called Asynkritios, former magistrate (propoliteuomenos), praepositus of the 1st and 2nd pagus, from Aurelius Helenos son of Phibis, mother Teuoris, aged about 42, with a scar on the little finger of the left hand, from the hamlet of Paploou in the Hermopolite nome. I acknowledge, swearing by the divine and heavenly fortune of our masters the Augusti, that I stand surety for the remaining and appearance of Aurelius Ammonios son of Besarion, from the same hamlet. If he himself fails to appear and I do not produce him, I myself shall undertake the liability 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 acknowledged it. The year after the consulship, Pharmouthi 13. I, Aurelius Helenos son of Phibis, stand surety for remaining and appearance and consent as stated above. I, Aurelius […], wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters.

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.
