To Aurelius Sarapion, strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome,
from the Aurelii Theoninos also called Sarapion, former high priest, and Theon, both exegetai and councillors of the city of the Oxyrhynchites.
While our father Sarapion son of Sarapion, former exegetes of the same city, was still alive and living on his own, each of us also lived apart in his own house. But when he died, leaving as heirs ourselves and another brother of ours, Ammonios, according to the will he left, which was also opened after his death, on taking charge of his affairs we learned that thefts of documents and of not a few other […] had taken place. Securing ourselves in this matter, we submit this petition so that it may be placed on record, in order that, if by making enquiries we discover anything, we may retain our right of action against those who shall be shown to have committed the theft.
Year 6 of the Emperors Caesars Publius Licinius Valerianus and Publius Licinius Valerianus Gallienus Germanici Maximi Pii Felices and Publius

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.
