After the consulship of Julius Constantius, patricius, brother of our master Constantine Augustus, and of Rufius Albinus, viri clarissimi.
To Flavius Paianios also called Macrobius, logistes of the Oxyrhynchite nome,
from Aurelius Thonios son of Demetrios, of the same city, priest of the temple of Zeus and Hera and the associated most great gods, and komastes of the divine busts and of their Victory who goes before them. Your diligence instructed me to declare in writing from where I had acquired the aforesaid rank. Accordingly I acknowledge, swearing the august divine oath of our masters the Emperor and the Caesars, that I have held this same rank by succession from my aforementioned father Demetrios, he too having been priest of the same priests (?) and komastes of the divine busts, and that I have stated nothing false; otherwise may I be liable to the divine oath.
In the aforesaid consulship, Phamenoth 30.
I, Aurelius Thonios, swore the divine oath as stated above.

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.
