Oath of an escort taking custody of Maxima for delivery to the prefect TM 15254Oxyrhynchos25. März 319

[3] In the consulship of our masters Constantine Augustus for the 5th time and Licinius the most noble Caesar for the 1st time. To Valerius Ammonianus also called Gerontius, logistes, through Herminos, deputy strategos of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelius Philoumenos son of Thonis, from the glorious and most glorious city of the Oxyrhynchites, escort. I swear the revered divine oath of our masters the Emperors and Caesars that I have taken charge of Maxima, wife of Hierax son of Casianus, son-in-law of Agathinos, on condition that I keep her in custody and guard her night and day until I deliver her to the office of the most eminent prefect Valerius Ziper, and that I will bring a document of the delivery, so as to be blameless in every respect; otherwise may I be liable to the divine oath. In the same consulship, Phamenoth 29. I, Aurelius Philoumenos son of Thonis, have taken charge of the person and will deliver her as aforesaid.
