To Calpurnius Horion, the most estimable eirenarch, and Aurelius Achilleus also called Ammonios, the most excellent,
Aurelius Herakles son of Theon, his mother being Tryphas, from the city of Oxyrhynchus, boat-builder. I acknowledge that I have received back from you the pakton which I supplied, with two oars of willow wood, for the transport (?) of public wheat, in accordance with what was written by our most illustrious prefect Claudius Firmus, and in answer to the formal question I gave my assent.
Year 11 of Imperator Caesar Publius Licinius Gallienus Germanicus Maximus Pius Felix Augustus, Epeiph 29.
I, Aurelius Herakles son of Theon, have received the pakton with the oars, and in answer to the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Apollonios son of Apollonios, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters.

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.
