Aurelius Hol, son of Pathinios, his mother being Agora, from the city of the Arsinoites, residing in the hamlet of Alexandros, to Flavius Adelphios, speculator of the staff of the governorship of Augustamnica, greetings. I acknowledge by this security that I have received from you from hand to hand 12,000 talents of silver, being the price of local wine of good quality, at the price that will prevail at the time, reduced by one third; and I will of necessity make the delivery to you in the month of Mesore of the coming fourth new indiction without delay, and you shall have the right of execution upon demand against me, the acknowledging party, and against all my property, as if by a court judgment. And having been asked the formal question, I acknowledged. I, Aurelius Hol, the aforementioned, acknowledge that I have received the 12,000 talents of silver, being the price of wine reduced by one third, and I will deliver as stated above. I, Aurelius Heron son of Dios, wrote on his behalf, since he says […] [verso] Note of hand of Hol from the city of the Arsinoites, 12,000 talents […]

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.
