[…] to the logistai (?) of the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites,
from Aurelius Zeuxis son of Sarapion, from the village of Pela in the Oxyrhynchite nome. I acknowledge, swearing the venerable divine oath of our master Julian, eternal Augustus, that I willingly and of my own choice stand surety for Aurelius Horoptoleeis from the most glorious city of the Antinoites, residing in the same village of Pela, who has been entrusted by you, the landowner, with the Greek boat with rudder-oar (?) that you own, of a capacity of 2,000 artabas more or less, on condition that he sails on that same boat, acting as its helmsman, and that whatever cargoes of public produce he receives, in accordance with the receipts given by him in writing, he will carry down to the most glorious Alexandria or wherever he is ordered, and deliver them in full, and bring back the documents of their delivery, from the fortunate new sixth indiction, so that no complaint arises against you concerning them; and that whenever you choose, he will hand over the same boat together with its tackle as he received it, barring an act of God; otherwise I, the surety, shall of necessity be answerable for everything demanded of him in this matter, or may I be liable to the divine oath.
I, Aurelius Zeuxis son of Sarapion, swore the divine oath, standing surety for Horoptoleeis as aforesaid, and on being asked I agreed. I, Aurelius Attion son of Eupothios, wrote on his behalf as he does not know letters.
Written through me, Harpalos.

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.
