From […] Diogenes son of Theogenes, his mother being Ptolema […], from the city of Oxyrhynchus, of the quarter of Herakles' Precinct. In accordance with the orders concerning the scrutiny (epikrisis) of those admitted to the class of those from the gymnasium, I declare that my son Theogenes, his mother being Isidora daughter of Ptolemaios, has become 13 years old in the present 14th year of Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus, registered in the same quarter; wherefore, presenting myself for his scrutiny, I declare that, according to the scrutiny held in the 5th year of the deified Vespasian by Sutorius Sosibios, former strategos, and Nikandros, former royal scribe, and the others whom the scrutiny concerns, my father Diogenes son of Theogenes son of Philiskos, his mother being Sinthoonis daughter of Achilleus, was scrutinized in the same quarter, on the basis of the proofs he submitted that his father Theogenes son of Philiskos, grandson of a gymnasiarch, is in the list of the 34th year of the deified Caesar of those from the gymnasium in the Anamphodarchon quarter; and that I was placed among the unscrutinized because I was not resident; and that my mother Ptolema was married to my father before the 7th year of Nero, and he also registered her in the house-by-house census of the following 8th year, she being the daughter of Philiskos son of Philiskos, former gymnasiarch of the same city; and that the mother of my son, Isidora, was married to me in the 7th year of Nero, whose father Ptolemaios son of Ammonios […] was likewise scrutinized in the same 5th year in the same quarter of Herakles' Precinct, on the basis of the proofs he submitted that his father Ammonios son of Ptolemaios […] in the list of the 34th year of the deified Caesar in the same quarter. And I swear by Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus Germanicus that Theogenes is the son of myself and Isidora by birth and not by adoption nor supposititious, and that I have used no other person's name or identity, or may I be liable to the oath.

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.
