To Flavius Valerianus, beneficiarius of the staff of the prefect of Egypt,
from Aurelius Kallistos son of Aborios, from the village of Kesmouchis in the 8th pagus of the Oxyrhynchite nome.
To your inquiry about the liturgy of meat being made over as a corporate charge (?), which was entrusted to us, for the produce of the 12th indiction: in kind we have delivered in pigs 570 pounds of meat, and in money, in papers (?), 30 pounds of meat at the rate of 2 talents and 2,000 drachmas. Accordingly we acknowledge this, swearing the venerable divine oath of all our invincible masters the Emperor and the Caesars, that we have told no falsehood, or may we be liable to the divine oath and to the danger attending it, as stated above. It is as follows:
To Eudaimon, praepositus, in money, 30 pounds.
In the consulship of Flavius Ursus and Polemius, the most illustrious, Mesore 3.
I, Aurelius Kallistos, have submitted this.
I, Aurelius […]ros, wrote on his behalf, as 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.
