[…] them […]
From Aurelius Silvanus, from the glorious and most glorious […]
Apphous, our brother, in collusion (?) and […] having joined as an advocate (?) against me the local exactor […], requested the assistant of the case (?) […]
And since the law orders that the one who is named […] be permitted to decline (him), and I perceive that he is acting zealously for my opponent, from the fact that he wished to entangle me in the lawsuit, for this reason I ask your magnificence, since I decline him, to grant me […], so that, if he should wish, he may summon (me) by official notice to your great court, and my rights may not be betrayed before the exactor, and no innovation be made against the possession which is mine; and I shall acknowledge my gratitude to you. Farewell.
I, Aurelius Silvanus, submitted (this). I, Aurelius Serapodoros, 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.
