To Flavius Arion, the most eloquent scholastikos and defensor (ekdikos) of the Oxyrhynchite (city),
from Aurelius Paulos, of the same city.
On another occasion too certain criminals attacked our courtyard and dared to drive off the pigs belonging to me, and I made use of petitions to the respected riparii and achieved nothing; and now, the guards of this city of the Oxyrhynchites, using the same practice, have handed over the same watch, and certain criminals attacked our courtyard and carried off our pigs. For this reason I submit this petition to your clemency, bearing witness to this very matter, asking, since these have been taken away, that you take action and […] to attend to the provisioning of the city, most learned defensor, lord.
I, Aurelius Paulos, have submitted (this).
To Flavius Arion, the most eloquent scholastikos and defensor of the Oxyrhynchite (city).
In the 2nd consulship of our master Flavius Anthemius, the eternal Augustus,
from Aurelius Paulos […]

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.
