[…] […] [and] his (?) feet (?) […], greeting. We acknowledge today, which is the […] of the month Pauni of this year, the seventh indiction, […] [and] Thekla his wife and Bes his [son] […] these whom they presented [in] […] […] of Sheshet (?) in the district of Soi through Kaeis son of Abdella […] [that] they came into our hands, fulfilling […] […] and we give them rest, according as you have ordered us. [Whenever your lord]ship shall seek their person from our hands, [we are ready to] hand them over to you without excuse, [without cross, without delay] ever. But if not, we shall bear every penalty [your lordship shall] determine against us. For your security, therefore, we have drawn up [this] surety agreement, making ourselves liable to you with our whole property [according to the] force of this surety agreement, [swearing] [by the name of God] Almighty and the salvation of our rulers who prevail, [that we shall guard and watch them according] as we first wrote. They asked us and we acknowledged. † [Note thus:] […] […] [and Rach]el his wife and Bes his son and Rachel his daughter: total 4 names. [† I, Apollo son] of the late Pshoi, and Theodosios son [of the] late [Shenoute, we agree to this] agreement as it is written. I, Apollo, wrote [for Theodosios] […] [because he does not] know (letters), and for myself. † † I, Ezekias son of the late [Kamoul, I agree to this] agreement according to its force. † [† I, Athanase son of the late] Makare, am witness to this agreement as I heard it from the one who drew it up [† † I, Apa Kyros son of the] late Andreas, am witness to this agreement [according to its force. †] [† I, David son of Georg]ios, am witness to this agreement according to its [force]. † [† I, Enoch son of] the late Biktor, am witness to this agreement according to its [force].

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.
