Year 3 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus and Imperator Caesar Lucius Aurelius Verus Augustus, Pauni 28. Through the bank of Sarapion on the Gymnasium Square. Didymos son of Didymos alias Demetrios, grandson of Theon, of the Sosikosmian tribe and Althaian deme, to Pabous son of Satabous, grandson of Harpagathes, his mother being Tasês, aged about 40, with a scar on the left forearm, and to Pakysis son of Naraus, grandson of Pakysis, his mother being Taouês, aged about 37, with a mole between the eyebrows, the two of them, as he states, illiterate, camel-keepers of the village of Soknopaiou Nesos: that they have received from Didymos, out of the transport charges owed to them for the wheat they carried down from the granaries of the Herakleides division from the month of Pachon of year 2 to the month of Epeiph of the present year 3, as an advance payment: Pabous son of Satabous, on account, 296 silver drachmas, and Pakysis son of Naraus likewise, on account, 600 silver drachmas, which they will repay to Didymos whenever they collect the transport charges owed to them from those who customarily disburse them from the public funds; and if they do not repay, Didymos shall have the right of execution against them and against all their property, as if by a court judgment.
Subscribed: […]
We, Pabous son of Satabous and Pakysis son of Naraus, have received from Didymos the aforementioned drachmas and will repay as stated above. I, G[…], wrote on their behalf because they are illiterate.

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.
