Aurelius Theon also called Neikammon, victor in the sacred games from the ephebate, former high priest of the sacred ecumenical great synod, to Aurelius Ammon, also styled as he is styled, his son, greeting. I appoint you as my representative in my place, as I am going abroad to the most illustrious Alexandria, so that you may obtain a declaration from Agathos Daimon, who was assistant (?) of my father and of me, […] through the records of the strategos or also through the other witnesses whom he acknowledged, […] the exegetes and […] and Diogenes, councillors, and Ophellios, agoranomos, and Aphynchis, victor in the sacred games, and Theon, as to who Euporos was and of what mother, and thus to draw up a sworn testimony and have the witnesses themselves sign it and send it to me, so that I may not appear to be disadvantaged in my rights. This letter of appointment, being in my own handwriting, is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. Year 12 of our lord Gallienus Augustus, Pharmouthi 9.

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.
