To Flavius Olympiodoros also called Asynkritios, praepositus, and Achilleus son of Eudaimon, both dyke-overseers of the southern parts of the Hermopolite nome, from the Aurelii Pebes son of Kolluthos and Painis […], both village headmen of the village of Ta[…] of the same nome.
We present and nominate the water-guards registered below for the guarding of the dyke-cuts and dyke boundaries belonging to us, being men of means and suitable for the service, at our risk and that of all the people of our village, jointly and severally. They are:
Silvanus son of […]nychis; Bekis son of Pamonios;
[…]ion son of Tithoes; Marinus son of Tax[…];
Taurinus son of Silvanus; Bakkis son of Ranis;
[…] son of Onnophris; Peues son of Hatres;
[…] son of Pathotes; Horos son of Plousios;
for whom we stand surety and we will produce them fulfilling blamelessly the service entrusted to them until their replacement. If any of them deserts and we do not produce him, we ourselves shall bear the responsibility on their behalf, and having been formally asked, we have agreed.
In the consulship of Flavii Amantius and Albinus, the most illustrious, Epeiph […].
We, the aforementioned village headmen, nominate those registered below as stated above. I, Aurelius Besarion, guarantor of identity, wrote on their behalf since they do 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.
