To Valerius, logistes (?) of the Arsinoite nome, from Aurelius Sarapion son of Souchammon, his mother being Antonia, from the quarter of the Sacred Gate, weaver of upright looms (?), living in the house of Eustochios. I acknowledge, swearing by the Fortune of our lords the Emperors Augusti, that I willingly and of my own choice stand surety for Aurelius Anoubas son of […], from the quarter of Moeris, for his remaining and appearing, and I will produce him whenever he is sought. If I do not produce him, I myself shall be liable for the claims made against him, and having been asked the formal question I have acknowledged it. I, Aurelius Sarapion, have stood surety. I, […]ation, wrote on his behalf, as 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.
