I acknowledge that I have received from you, through Heliodoros and his fellow overseers of the bank at the Serapeum near the city of Oxyrhynchus, for which a guarantee was given by Epimachos, 400 drachmas of imperial silver coinage, being for the nursing fees, oil, clothing and all other expenses for two years during which my slave Sarapias nursed your daughter Helene, registered as your child, whom you have also received back weaned and having had every care; and that I have no claim against you, nor will make any claim, nor will proceed against you either about these matters or about anything else whatever up to the present day. The receipt is valid. Year 28 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Commodus Antoninus Pius Felix Augustus Armeniacus Medicus Parthicus Sarmaticus Germanicus Maximus Britannicus, Phaophi 15. I, Chosion son of Sarapion, have received the 400 drachmas of the nursing fees and make no claim, as stated above. I, Tanenteris daughter of Thonis, with my guardian Demetrios son of Horion, consent and have received my daughter, as stated above.

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.
