† In the consulship of our lord Flavius Anastasius the eternal Augustus Imperator for the 3rd time, Epeiph […] of the first indiction.
This agreement of compromise (arbitration) is made with one another, on the one part by Flavii Silvanus and Sarapion, soldiers of the numerus of Hermopolis, and Aurelius Isakos, full brothers by the father Phoibammon, from the same city, Isakos acting both for himself and for the heirs of Tyrannos, our late brother, and on the other part by Flavius Bes Nikon, soldier of the same numerus, and his wife Archontia, sister of the aforementioned by the same parents, from the same city, greetings to one another. Since we have disputed with one another about evident principal matters, and before lawsuit and contention it seemed good to us by common consent to go to arbitration before Kardemeos and Zenodotos, the most eloquent advocates of the forum of the Thebaid, and to abide by and obey whatever shall be determined by their learning, accordingly we agree, swearing by God Almighty and the divine and heavenly fortune of our all-conquering lord Flavius Anastasius the eternal Augustus Imperator, that we will appear before the aforesaid arbitrators and submit to arbitration before them until the eighth of the present month Epeiph of the present first indiction, and will obey all that shall be determined by them; and that whoever does not appear before them or does not obey what shall be determined by them shall pay to the party abiding by it, for breach of the agreement, by way of penalty, 12 gold solidi without dispute; this document is valid and binding, and having been asked the formal question we have consented.
[…] the aforesaid, it is satisfactory to me as stated above. I, Aurelia Archontia daughter of Phoibammon, have made this compromise as stated above. I, Asterios son of Kollouthos, from Antinoopolis, wrote on her behalf as she does not know letters […]
Written through me, Horos […]

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.
