Two fragmentary declarations of surety addressed to Aurelius Dionysios alias Herakleides, strategos of the Prosopite nome. In each, a villager (one named Aurelius Tisoeis) undertakes to guarantee that another Aurelius will appear when required.
A surety for appearance (emphaneia) guaranteed that a person would present himself to the authorities, often for a liturgy or legal proceedings. The village names are too damaged to identify.

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