To those chosen to oversee the sacrifices,
from Aurelia Leulis, daughter of A…[…]n, from the village of Euhemeria of the division of Themistos. I have always sacrificed to the gods and performed my religious duties, and now in your presence, in accordance with what has been ordered, I have sacrificed and poured libations and tasted of the sacrificial offerings, together with my under-age children Palempis and T…eris. Therefore I submit this, asking you to give me your certification below. Farewell.
I, Aurelia Leulis, have submitted this, aged 35, residing in the village of Theadelphia.
We, Aurelius Serenos and Aurelius Hermas, saw you sacrificing.
Year 1 of Imperator Caesar Gaius Messius Quintus Traianus Decius Pius Felix Augustus, Epeiph 3.

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.
