Hermon and his companion Bion had run away from their master Aristogenes. Hermon is described as a Syrian from Bambyke, eighteen years old and of medium height; he wears an undergarment and a cloak and has three gold coins, ten pearls, and an iron ring. A reward is offered to whoever might apprehend him and bring him back or might reveal where he has taken asylum; such a person should report to the governor’s office. Similar details describe Bion.
