[recto] † After the consulship of Flavius Monaxius and Flavius Plinta, the most illustrious, Mecheir 20. To Flavius Isak, former praepositus, landowner in the splendid and most splendid city of the Oxyrhynchites, steward of the most divine household, through Didymos, wine-merchant, Aurelius Phoibammon son of Ammonios, from the same city, greetings. I acknowledge that I owe you and am indebted to you, for the price of wine which I have bought from you and carried away according to the agreements between us, one single imperial gold solidus of full weight and approved, total 1 solidus, which, being free from all risk, I will necessarily repay to you in the month of Pauni of the present year 96/65, at the beginning of the fourth indiction, without delay, the right of execution being yours against me and against all my possessions. This bond, written in a single copy, is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Phoibammon son of Ammonios, the aforesaid, have and owe, from the price of wine, the one gold solidus, and I will repay it at the appointed time as stated above. I, Aurelius Ammonios son of Mauros, wrote on his behalf since he does not know letters. † Through me, Nikias (?) † [verso] Bond of Phoibammon son of Ammonios, assistant (?), son of Ammon, for 1 solidus.

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.
