In the consulship of our lords Severus Augustus and Maximinus most noble Caesar.
To Aurelius Dioskoros also called Helladios, gymnasiarch, councillor, prytanis in office of the illustrious and most illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites,
from Aurelius Timotheos son of Sarapias, from the same city. Since the donkey-dealers of the same city have improperly proceeded against me in the matter of the supply of two donkeys being sent to his excellency the magister of the privata, on the pretext that I practise their trade, accordingly I declare, swearing by the Fortune of our lords the Emperors Maximianus and Severus Augusti and Maximinus and Constantine the most noble Caesars, that I have never practised their trade nor practise it now; and if I should later be caught, I shall be liable to the divine oath and to the danger attached to it in this matter.
Year 15, 3, 1 of our lords Maximianus and Severus Augusti and Maximinus and Constantine the most noble Caesars, Pachon 14.

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.
