Αὐρηλία Ἀπία καὶ ὡς χρηματίζει ἀπὸ τῆς Ὀξυρυγχιτῶν πόλεως Αὐρηλίῳ Ἀφυγχίῳ Ὥρου ἀπὸ τῆς αὐτῆς πόλεως χαίρειν. ἐντέλλομαί σοι καὶ ἐπιτρέπω κατὰ τόδε μου τὸ ἐντολικὸν τὴν ἐντυχίαν ποιήσασθαι ἐξ ὀνόματός μου παρὰ τῷ κυρίῳ μου τῷ διασημοτάτῳ ἡγεμόνι Φλαυίῳ Ὀλυμπίῳ καὶ τὰ προσόντα μοι δίκαια παραθέσθαι ὡς καὶ ἐμοὶ παρούσῃ ἔξεστιν. κυρία ἡ ἐντολὴ ἁπλῆ γραφεῖσα ἣν καὶ ἐξεδόμην σοι καὶ ἐπερωτηθεῖσα ὡμολόγησα. Αὐρηλία Ἀπία πεποίημαι τὴν ἐντολὴν ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοῖς προκιμένοις καὶ ἐπερωτηθεῖσα ὡμολόγησα. Αὐρήλιος Παπνοῦτις Ἀφυγχίου ἔγραψα ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς γράμματα μὴ εἰδυίας.

In the consulship of Furius Placidus, clarissimus, prefect of the sacred praetorium, and Flavius Romulus, clarissimus, Phamenoth 18. Aurelia Apia, and however she is styled, from the city of the Oxyrhynchites, to Aurelius Aphynchis son of Horos, from the same city, greetings. I instruct and authorize you by this my mandate to make the petition in my name before my lord the perfectissimus governor Flavius Olympius, and to set forth the rights belonging to me, just as I myself could do if present. The mandate, written in a single copy, which I have issued to you, is valid, and in answer to the formal question I have assented. (2nd hand) I, Aurelia Apia, have made the mandate on all the foregoing terms and in answer to the formal question I have assented. I, Aurelius Papnoutis son of Aphynchis, wrote on her behalf since she 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.
