EN AI · machine translation from the DDbDP edition (Claude Opus 5.5)
[2] In the consulship of our masters Constantine Augustus for the 5th time and Licinius the most noble Caesar for the 1st time. To Valerius Ammonianus also called Gerontius, logistes, through Herminos, deputy strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from the Aurelii Horion son of Alexander, from the city of Oxyrhynchus, and Ammonas son of Paol, from the village of Dositheou in the 8th pagus. We acknowledge, swearing the august divine oath of our masters the Emperors and Caesars, that we have received K...ymos (?), guarantor of Chari...ne, slave of Ploution, on condition that we keep him under guard and watch night and day until we present him to the office of his excellency the prefect Valerius Ziper, and that we will bring documents of the presentation, so that we may be blamed in nothing; otherwise may we be liable to the divine oath. In the same consulship, Phamenoth 28. (2nd hand) We, the Aurelii Horion and Ammonas, have received the person and will present him as stated above. I, Aurelius Horion, wrote on behalf of the other, as he 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.
