A sworn surety declaration addressed to Valerius, an auditing official of the Arsinoite nome, in which the weaver Aurelius Sarapion guarantees that Aurelius Anoubas will stay put and appear when summoned, accepting liability himself if he fails to produce him. It was written at Ptolemais Euergetis (Arsinoe) in AD 314-315, with a scribe signing for the illiterate Sarapion.

In English machine translation

To Valerius, logistes (?) of the Arsinoite nome, from Aurelius Sarapion son of Souchammon, his mother being Antonia, from the quarter of the Sacred Gate, weaver of upright looms (?), living in the house of Eustochios. I acknowledge, swearing by the Fortune of our lords the Emperors Augusti, that I willingly and of my own choice stand surety for Aurelius Anoubas son of […], from the quarter of Moeris, for his remaining and appearing, and I will produce him whenever he is sought. If I do not produce him, I myself shall be liable for the claims made against him, and having been asked the formal question I have acknowledged it. I, Aurelius Sarapion, have stood surety. I, […]ation, wrote on his behalf, as he does not know letters.

The katalogistes was an official responsible for auditing or registration; the word rendered 'weaver of upright looms' (orthyphos) is a rare technical trade term. 'Remaining and appearing' renders the standard formula monē kai emphaneia guaranteeing someone's presence.
