Royal Decree via APIS-papyrus
Royal ordinance on sureties for a person's appearance. A royal ordinance, passed on by Aischylos, agent of Sostratos, to Zenon, responding to a petition by the taxiarch Heniochos. A man who had stood surety for Kallias's presence on behalf of Eukles is to be freed from the penalty for overrunning the deadline once he produces Kallias, and the ruling is extended to all such sureties. It dates to year 10 of Ptolemy III (237 BC), probably at Alexandria. machine translation

βασιλέως προστάξαντος,
Αἰσχύλου τοῦ παρὰ Σωστράτου
ἀπαγγείλαντος Ζήνωνι,
ὑπὲρ οὗ ἐνέτυχεν Ἡνίοχος
τῶν Ἀνθίππου ταξίαρχος.
εἰ ἔγγυος γεγένηται
παραμονῆς Καλλίου πρὸς Εὐκλῆ,
καταστήσας τὸ σῶμα ἀφείσθω
τῆς ὑπερημερίας, κατὰ
τὰ αὐτὰ δὲ καὶ ὅσοι ἐγγυῶνται
παραμονῆς τινα καταστήσαντες τὸ σῶμα ἀφείσθωσαν
τῆς ἐγγύης καὶ μὴ ἐκκλειέσθωσαν τῆς ὑπερημερίας.
ἔτους ι, Αὐδναίου.Translations (1)
By order of the king, Aischylos, the agent of Sostratos, having reported to Zenon, concerning the matter on which Heniochos, taxiarch of the men of Anthippos, petitioned:
If he has become surety for the continued presence of Kallias in favour of Eukles, upon producing the person let him be released from the penalty for exceeding the term. And in the same way, all who stand surety for someone's continued presence, upon producing the person, are to be released from the surety and are not to be excluded by the lapse of the term.
Year 10, Audnaios.

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.
