To […]on, prytanis (?) in office, president,
[…] Aurelius Melas […]
[…] greetings.
I agree, swearing by the divine and heavenly fortune of our lords the eternal Augusti, that I stand surety for the continued residence and appearance of Aurelia Theodora, daughter of Maximus, [mother …], whom I will also produce whenever she is sought, without any objection. Otherwise, may I be liable to the divine oath and to the danger attached to it.
This handwritten bond, written in a single copy, is valid […]; I have issued it to you for security, and having been asked the formal question, I agreed.
In the consulship of Flavius Philippus, the most illustrious prefect of the sacred praetorium, and Flavius Salia, the most illustrious master of cavalry, Phaophi 10.

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.
