[…] […] another place, but also, when he is sought from me by your magnificence through those who belong to it, on whatever day and for whatever reason, I shall produce him and hand him over without any recourse to place of refuge or plea, where I also received him, in the custody of your glorious house. If I do not do this, I acknowledge that I am liable to answer for all the claims sought against him. This surety, written in a single copy, is valid, and having been asked the formal question I have agreed. I, Theodoros, chief symmachos, son of Serenos, the aforesaid, have made this surety in accordance with the statement above, as aforesaid. […]

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.
