After the consulship of our masters Crispus and Constantine, the most illustrious Caesars, for the 3rd time.
To Flavius Sarapion, centurion of the staff of the most eminent catholicus,
from Aurelius Herakles son of Koilakios, councillor of the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites, overseer of meat (?). I swear by the revered divine oath of our Emperor and Caesars that I have received from the produce of the 12th indiction 24,235 pounds, for the forthcoming visit 10,000 pounds, and for the provisioning of the most noble soldiers stationed at Babylon under Severianus the praepositus 14,235 pounds, together with the expenses, and that I will bring them down and make the distribution of them whenever I am ordered, complete in number, and will produce the documents of delivery, so that I may be blamed in nothing; otherwise may I be liable to the divine oath.
In the aforesaid consulship, Tybi 18.

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.
