To Flavius Aelius Gessius, the most illustrious prefect, Aurelius Kleoboulos, councillor of the Great Oasis, greetings. I received an order from your Illustriousness, lord, commanding me to send to the court the heirs of Apion and also the heirs of Herakleios son of Domettius and […] son of Septimius, or the agents able to answer on their behalf in the court to the charges to be brought against them by the most illustrious house of Andromachos. And at once, holding in my breast the fear of your Majesty, I pressed upon them, troubling them, and having undertaken the journey to the Inner Oasis, where they have their residences, I have sent, through Isidoros, beneficiarius of the staff of your lordship, the agents handed over to me by them, who are competent and able to fill their place, with sureties in accordance with the written undertakings which they made, having attached the single copy of their written undertakings, so that nothing may escape your most vigilant care, master. I pray for your health, most illustrious prefect, lord, for many years. In the consulship of our masters Valens for the […] time and Valentinian for the […] time.

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.
