Marriage agreement between Tryphon and Apollonarion TM 18536Alexandriaca. 19 - 15 v.Chr.

To Achaios, the official in charge of the court in the courtyard, [… 5 lines lost …] […] with one another […] Apollonarion and Tryphon […] have come together with one another […] and Hierax and Isidora […] a dowry of [… drachmas] of silver […] […] […] […] from Hierax [and Isidora] the aforesaid dowry […] [… 4 lines lost …] […] [nor] to bring in another wife […] [nor] to commit any wrong against her […] [… 3 lines lost …] […] and if he transgresses any of these, he shall forthwith pay back the aforesaid dowry increased by half, Apollonarion having the right of execution upon Tryphon himself and upon all his possessions, as if by a court judgment. And Apollonarion shall observe her duties toward her husband and their common life, and shall not sleep away or be absent for a day from Tryphon's house without his consent, nor ruin or damage the common household, nor consort with another man; and if she is proved to be doing any of these things, she shall, after judgment, be deprived of the dowry. And within five business days from whatever day they give notice to one another, they shall also draw up the contract through the sacrificing priests, as they may jointly decide at the time. And Hierax and Isidora further agree at once […] to Apollonarion […] in general to be […] toward her brothers, from the property that will be left to her by Hierax and Isidora after the death of Hierax and Isidora themselves, and the one who transgresses shall be liable to the fixed penalty. We request (ratification).
