In the consulship of Flavius Philippus, the most illustrious praetorian prefect, and Flavius Salia, the most illustrious master of the cavalry, Phamenoth 10.
Aurelia Valeria, daughter of Alypios, to Aurelia Nemesilla, my sister by the same mother, from the village of Philadelphia in the Arsinoite nome, greetings.
Since we inherited a grain-grinding millstone and a grain-milling machine which were our father's property, and I alone have taken away the stone and sold it as the share falling to me, accordingly I acknowledge that I have no share in the aforementioned grain-milling machine, but that I am a stranger to it and without claim to it, and no one will proceed against you concerning it, neither I, Valeria, nor my children nor heirs nor anyone else; and I have issued to you this my handwritten document as security. The acknowledgment is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.
I, Aurelia Valeria, the aforesaid, have issued the security that I have no share in the machine, and I consent to what is written herein, as stated above.
I, Aurelius Sarapion son of Ioulianos, from Alexandria, living in the same village, wrote on her behalf since she 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.
