To Theon, strategos and in charge of the revenues,
from Antaios son of Onnophris. While serving as gymnasiarch of the village of Busiris in the 30th year of Caesar, I became guarantor for Theoxenos son of Lykos and Panetbeuis son of Petechon, of the same village, dekanoi of the dyke at Koma (?). And since the aforementioned men failed to appear, I was compelled by Apollonios, toparch of the district around Busiris, to pay into the public treasury on their behalf 421 drachmas of silver and the additional charges on these. Since therefore the said men have resources, houses and allotments and cattle and sown land, I ask, if it seems good, that you order the same toparch to assist me in demanding back what I have paid and […] from the aforementioned resources, so that I may have obtained your help.

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.
