[3] 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 Aurelius Philoumenos son of Thonis, from the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites, escort. I swear the revered divine oath of our masters the Emperors and Caesars that I have taken charge of Maxima, wife of Hierax son of Casianus, son-in-law of Agathinos, on condition that I keep her in custody and guard her night and day until I deliver her to the office of the most eminent prefect Valerius Ziper, and that I will bring a document of the delivery, so as to be blameless in every respect; otherwise may I be liable to the divine oath. In the same consulship, Phamenoth 29. I, Aurelius Philoumenos son of Thonis, have taken charge of the person and will deliver her as aforesaid.

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.
