[† In the name] of the Lord and Master [Jesus Christ], our God and Saviour, and [of] our [Lady] the holy Mother of God and [of all the saints]. Epeiph 14 of the tenth indiction, in Arsinoe.
To [Flavius Ioannes], the most glorious illustris [and pagarch] of this city of the Arsinoites, [Aurelius] Phoibammon, headman (meizon), son of Menas, [from the village] of Boubastos in the Arsinoite nome, greetings.
[I acknowledge] of my own free will, swearing by God Almighty, that I have agreed with your gloriousness concerning the grain of the auspicious embole of the present tenth indiction, that I am ready […] in full and without shortfall […] and to pay it in full to it (your gloriousness). If I do not do this, but any of it remains outstanding, I am liable to provide to it for each measure remaining outstanding one solidus of gold, gold solidus 1. The acknowledgement is valid, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. † I, Phoibammon, headman, son of Menas, agree to everything 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.
