Aurelius Bion also called Ammonios, gymnasiarch, councillor, prytanis in office of the city of the Oxyrhynchites, to Aurelius Dios also called Pertinax, strategos of the same nome, his dearest friend, greetings.
Since I am setting out together with others to our most illustrious prefect Valerius Firmus on an embassy concerning the levy imposed on our nome for the sacred apotaktos, I write to you, dearest friend, so that you may make it known to Aurelius Isidoros, former high priest, councillor, eirenarch, that he is to take over from me the affairs pertaining to the prytany until I return. I pray for your health, dearest friend.
Year 3 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Julius Philippus Pius Felix and Marcus Julius Philippus, most noble and most illustrious Caesar, Augusti, Epeiph 23.

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.
