Affidavit of a priest of Zeus and Hera on hereditary priestly rank TM 21807Oxyrhynchos26. März 336

After the consulship of Julius Constantius, patricius, brother of our master Constantine Augustus, and of Rufius Albinus, viri clarissimi. To Flavius Paianios also called Macrobius, logistes of the Oxyrhynchite nome, from Aurelius Thonios son of Demetrios, of the same city, priest of the temple of Zeus and Hera and the associated most great gods, and komastes of the divine busts and of their Victory who goes before them. Your diligence instructed me to declare in writing from where I had acquired the aforesaid rank. Accordingly I acknowledge, swearing the august divine oath of our masters the Emperor and the Caesars, that I have held this same rank by succession from my aforementioned father Demetrios, he too having been priest of the same priests (?) and komastes of the divine busts, and that I have stated nothing false; otherwise may I be liable to the divine oath. In the aforesaid consulship, Phamenoth 30. I, Aurelius Thonios, swore the divine oath as stated above.
