Opening of a deed of surety addressed by several Aurelii, among them Hatres, Pamounis, Petobastis and Leus, to Aurelius Demeas, praepositus of the 8th pagus of the Hermopolite nome. Only the consular dating, address and names of the parties survive; the body of the guarantee is lost.
The praepositus pagi was the official in charge of a rural district (pagus) of the nome in the 4th century. This text is a duplicate copy of another surety deed; the type of document is known from the catalogue rather than the surviving lines.

It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
