To Aphous. On the report of Ammonion, procurator of the most magnificent and most glorious count Ammonios, to which his magnificence also consented, following my discussion with him, you have been called as riparius of the divisions (merides) of the same most glorious man. And having entered the court, you accepted by your own voice and will the charge of the riparius office, which I order you by this present order to take up, without any fee. For through zeal you will be praised, but through negligence you will subject yourself to the utmost danger. Dat(um).

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.
