Φλαουΐῳ Φοιβάμμωνι πολιτευομένῳ πατρὶ πόλεως Ὀξυρυγχίτου
παρὰ Αὐρηλίας Ἀηοῦ ἀπὸ τῆς αὐτῆς πόλεως.
τῶν ἀνθρωπίνων ὑπεξῆλθεν ὁ ἐμὸς ἀνὴρ ἐποφείλων
χρέα. ὁ δὲ υἱός μου Ἀείων, γυναῖκα ἑαυτῷ ἀγαγὼν καὶ
ἐκ τῆς τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ εὐπορίας τῶν πραγμάτων
εὑρών, μελετᾷ ἐπικλᾶσαι ἐμοὶ τῇ μητρὶ μέρος
τοῦ χρέους, ἀντιποιούμενος καὶ τοῦ γονικοῦ μου
οἰκήματος. ὅθεν παρακαλῶ σου τὴν
στερρότητα ὥστε κελεῦσαι τοῦτον παραστῆναι,
ἐπειδήπερ καὶ περιεποιήσατο ἑαυτῷ πράγματα,
ἔχοντα καὶ τοὺς νηπίους ἀδελφοὺς αὐτοῦ συγκάμνοντας, καὶ ἀκροάσασθαι ἡμῶν καὶ τύπον
δίκαιον παρασχεῖν.
φαίνομαι γὰρ ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ χρυσαργύρῳ ὑποθεμένη τὸ θυγάτριόν μου εἰς τέσσαρα χρύσινα.
Αὐρηλία Ἀηοῦ ἐπιδέδωκα.Translations (1)
To Flavius Phoibammon, politeuomenos, father of the city of the Oxyrhynchites,
from Aurelia Aeous, from the same city.
My husband departed from human affairs still owing debts. My son Aeion, having taken a wife for himself and having obtained property from his father's wealth, is scheming to shift onto me, his mother, part of the debt, while also laying claim to my ancestral dwelling. Therefore I beg your firmness to order him to appear, since he has indeed acquired property for himself, and has his infant brothers toiling with him, and to hear us and provide a just ruling.
For it is clear that on his behalf, for the chrysargyron, I pledged my little daughter for 4 gold solidi.
I, Aurelia Aeous, have submitted (this).

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.
