End of a sworn declaration by Horion son of Apollonios, possibly a shipowner, with Anoubas son of Diogenes acting as his guarantor. Written at Oxyrhynchus on 8 February 214, in the reign of Caracalla.

In English machine translation

[…] […] of Alexandria […] […] under the supervision (?) of Aurelius Euphranor, who knows (?), or may I be liable to the oath. And for this purpose I have provided as my guarantor Anoubas son of Diogenes, his mother being Herais, from the same city, who is present and consents. Year 22 of Imperator Caesar Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Parthicus Maximus Britannicus Maximus Germanicus Maximus Pius Augustus, Mecheir 14. I, Horion son of Apollonios, have sworn the oath and will do everything as stated above. I, Anoubas son of Diogenes, stand guarantor for Horion as stated above.

The beginning is lost, so the exact obligation is unknown; the identification as a shipowner's declaration is tentative, perhaps linked to transport to Alexandria. The phrase with Euphranor's name is damaged and its sense uncertain.

Working translation of the DDbDP edition, made with Claude Opus 5.5 from the edition and the catalogue records shown below (catalogued as Declaration of a Ship - owner (?)). It has not been reviewed by a papyrologist: check the edition before citing. Restorations follow the edition; […] marks lost text and (?) an uncertain reading.
