[…]; and if he should be missing and I do not produce him, I myself shall undertake the liability on his behalf,
and that I have sworn nothing falsely, or may I be liable to the divine

I, Aurelius Victor son of Gerontios, the aforesaid, stand surety and will produce him as stated above. I, Aurelius Kastor
[…], wrote on his behalf, since he does not know letters.
Written through me, Eusebios […].

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.
- date — from HGV-meta, TM-Text 33486 (see that record)
