The bond is valid and guaranteed, and having been asked the formal question I gave my consent. † I, Aurelius Ananias son of [Papnouthios], [farmer, have made] this bond. † I, Aurelius Theophilos son of Eulogios, from Hermopolis, having been asked, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters. † [†] I, Aurelius O[…], [from] Hermopolis, [witness the bond, having heard it] from the party who made it. ☧ ☧ ☧ † I, The[…]s son of Menas, from Hermopolis, witness the bond, having heard it from the party who made it. ☧ I, Aurelius Georgios son of Artemidoros, from Hermopolis, witness the bond, having heard it from the party who made it.

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.
