[1] Sheet (?) To Protarchos from Thermion daughter of Apion, with her guardian Apollonios son of Chaireas, and from Apollonios son of Ptolemaios. Thermion and Apollonios son of Ptolemaios agree that they have come together with one another for a common life, and that the same Apollonios son of Ptolemaios has received from Thermion by hand, from the house, as a small dowry, a pair of gold earrings of three quarters and in silver … drachmas. From now on Apollonios son of Ptolemaios shall supply Thermion with all necessities and clothing as befits a wedded wife, in proportion to his means, and shall not ill-treat her nor throw her out nor insult her nor bring in another wife, or else he shall forthwith repay the dowry increased by half, Thermion having the right of execution upon Apollonios son of Ptolemaios himself and upon all his property, as if by a court judgment. And Thermion shall observe her duties towards her husband and their common life, and shall not sleep away or be absent for a day from the house without the consent of Apollonios son of Ptolemaios, nor ruin or damage the common household, nor consort with another man; or else, if she is judged to have done any of these things, she shall be deprived of the dowry, and in addition the one who transgresses shall be liable to the fixed penalty. Year 17 of Caesar, Pharmouthi 20.

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.
