Aurelius Apollonios son of Sarapion, his mother being Dioskorous, from the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites, to Aurelius Harpestles, exarchos, of those reporting to Urrananus (?), praepositus, greetings. I acknowledge that I have sold to you in the city of the Oxyrhynchites a male donkey, bronze-coloured, having shed its second teeth, for the price agreed between us of fifteen talents of silver of the imperial coinage, total 15 talents, which I have received from you in full; and you have received the same donkey from me forthwith, just as it is, not to be returned, and I will guarantee it to you with every guarantee, and I will of necessity immediately repel anyone who proceeds against you on its account, as if by judgement. The sale is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. Year 21 and 13 of our lords Diocletian and Maximian Augusti and of Constantius and Maximianus the most illustrious Caesars, Pauni […]. I, Aurelius Apollonios, have sold the aforementioned donkey and have received the fifteen talents of silver of the price […] as aforesaid, and having been asked the formal question he assented […] Aurelius Zethos […]

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.
