Flavius Julius Ausonius to Aetios and Dioskoros, propoliteuomenoi of the Oxyrhynchites, greetings.
Without troubling those who have not taken up the life of a trader but also hold an order from my Devotion, demand payment from the traders themselves and from all those submitted (for liability) whose names you sent, and restore the gold and the silver. For it is just that the man who did a benefaction should now at least recover what he advanced. Farewell.
In the consulship of our lords Constantius Augustus for the third time and Constans Augustus for the second time.

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.
