Oath which the topogrammateis and komogrammateis in the division of Polemon swore, and under which they also signed, to Ptolemaios son of Pyrrhos, of the First Friends and strategos: We swear by King Ptolemy, the god Euergetes, son of Ptolemy and Cleopatra, the gods Epiphaneis, and by Queen Cleopatra his sister, the goddess Euergetis, and by the god Philometor and the god Eupator and the gods Epiphaneis and the gods Philopatores and the gods Euergetai and the gods Adelphoi and the gods Soteres and by Sarapis and Isis and all the other gods and goddesses, that we will truly report about all the […] being brought up and those being held back in the villages and not sent out, immediately or on the following day. If we keep the oath, may it be well with us; if we swear falsely, the opposite.
