[…] of Antoninus and Faustina Augusti.
[Menodoros] son of Horos, his mother being Takallippos, from the village of Psobthis, [has given] his daughter Thatres, her mother being Thatres, to Apollonios [son of Herakles], his mother being Tausorapis, from the same village, for partnership in marriage. The bride brings to her husband as dowry, in gold of the common standard by Oxyrhynchite weight, one mina, in ornaments, valued at [… drachmas, and in] paraphernalia of garments two subrica-mantles, [one …] and the other white. Let the married pair therefore live together, observing the duties of marriage, and let the husband provide the wife with what is needed according to the means [of his livelihood]. If a separation takes place, whether there are children or not, let the husband return all the paraphernalia at the time of the separation, and the dowry within sixty days from the day the separation takes place, the right of execution belonging to Menodoros, who gave her in marriage, against the husband and against all his property. Present is the husband's father, Herakles son of Moros, his mother being Apollonia, from the same village, who consents to the marriage and stands surety for the repayment of the aforesaid dowry. The contract, written in two copies so that each party may have one, is valid, and having been asked the formal question by each other they agreed. Year 10, Phamenoth 18.

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.
