After the consulship of Flavius Leo, eternal Augustus, for the 4th time, and of Probinianus, vir clarissimus, Choiak 5, 10th indiction.
To Flavius Andreas, vir clarissimus, son of Serenos of admirable memory, through Phoibammon, assistant,
from Aurelius Banos son of Pinoution, mother Maria, from the village of Akis of the Hermopolite nome. I acknowledge, swearing by God Almighty and by the piety and victory of our masters Flavii Leo and Anthemius, the eternal Augusti, that I voluntarily and of my own free will stand surety and have undertaken responsibility for the remaining and appearance of Aurelius David son of Siphios, from the same village, on condition that he remain in the village and answer for the public dues of his own person for each assessment, from now for all time to come, and not leave.
But if he should leave and I do not produce him, I myself will pay on his behalf from my own resources the public dues of his person only, at my own risk and that of all my property. And if I do not pay, may I be liable to the divine oath and to the penalty concerning this, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Banos son of Pinoution, the aforementioned, swore the divine oath and will produce him as stated above […]
I wrote on his behalf, as he does 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.
