[recto] To Flavius Isidoros and Flavius Theodoros, officials of the staff of the governorship of the Thebaid, from Aurelius Apion, of the former magistrates, councillor of Ptolemais. I acknowledge, swearing by the divine and heavenly fortune of our all-conquering masters Valentinian, Valens and Gratian, the eternal Augusti, that I have stood surety for Aurelius Sarapion son of Kastor, of the kephalaiotai of the thirteenth indiction, on condition that he present himself at the office and make his appearance; and if he fails to do so, I myself will fill his place on his behalf, or I shall be liable to the divine oath and to the danger attached to it; and having been asked the formal question, I gave my assent. In the consulship of Modestus, most illustrious prefect of the sacred praetorium, ⟨and Arintheus, most illustrious⟩, Mesore 14. I, Aurelius Apion, the aforementioned, stand surety for the aforementioned Sarapion on condition that he present himself at the office as stated above. [verso] Surety for Sarapion through Apion son of Nikantinoos, kephalaiotes of Ptolemais.

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.
