Copy of a written oath. To Nemesion, royal scribe of the Herakleides division,
from Lucius Vettius Epaphroditus. I swear by Imperator Caesar Domitian Augustus Germanicus that truly, by the 23rd of the month Pharmouthi of the present 6th year of Imperator Caesar Domitian Augustus Germanicus, I will arrive at Alexandria and attend at the most sacred tribunal of the most excellent prefect Gaius Septimius Vegetus until I settle the claims that Marcus Antonius Titulleius (?), soldier, has against me, in accordance with the letter delivered to Claudius Chares, former strategos; otherwise may I be liable to the oath.
Isidoros, legal scribe, wrote for him, as he says he does not know letters.
Epaphroditus, aged 35, scar on the little finger of the right hand.
Through Teboulos, assistant.
Year 6 of Imperator Caesar Domitian Augustus Germanicus, Pharmouthi 3.

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.
