Aurelius Onnophris son of Achilleus, from the village of Seneilaïs in the Great Hermopolite nome, to Aurelius Apollonios son of Sarapion, from the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites, greetings.
I acknowledge that I have sold to you in the market of the Oxyrhynchite (nome) a male donkey, mouse-coloured, full-grown, for the price agreed between us of 12 talents of silver of the coinage of the Augusti, total 12 talents, which I have received from you on the spot in full from hand to hand, and having been asked the formal question about this payment I acknowledged it.
You have received this same donkey from me from now on, just as it is, not to be returned and free from claims, and I will guarantee it to you with every guarantee, and anyone who proceeds against you or lays claim to it or to part of it on this account I will of necessity drive off at once at my own expense, just as by legal judgement […]

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.
