p.lond.4.1498 708 - 709Aphrodites Kome (Antaiopolites)
Surety for a sailor serving on a voyage. Fragmentary Coptic surety document from Aphrodito, dated to the eighth indiction (AD 708-709), in which a guarantor addressed to a high official vouches that a sailor from his village will complete his voyage without turning back, under penalty. It ends with the guarantor's consent, several witness statements and the notary's subscription. machine translation

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.
