Novation via HGV-meta

Novation of a wheat loan from Hermias to Dionysios. A loan contract from Hermopolis in 116 BC in which Hermias, a 'Persian' of the cavalry mercenaries' sons, lends Dionysios son of Kephalas 150 artabas of wheat.

[recto] Year 2, month of Dios 16, Thoth 16, at Hermopolis in the Thebaid. Hermias son of […], Persian, of those registered among the sons of the mercenary cavalrymen, has lent to Dionysios son of Kephalas, Persian of the epigone, 150 artabas of hard wheat. This is the loan which Dionysios still owes to Hermias from a loan contract, which has been cancelled for him together with the referral of this contract. Dionysios shall repay the wheat without interest to Hermias or to his agents in the month of Loios, which is Pauni of the second year, in hard wheat, new, clean, unadulterated, by the measure corresponding to the bronze standard, and he shall deliver it to the harbour at Akoris at his own expense. If he does not repay as written, Dionysios shall pay to Hermias or to his agents as the value of each artaba 3,000 bronze drachmas. And Hermias and his agents shall have the right of execution for everything under the contract against Dionysios himself and against all his property, as if by a court judgement. This contract shall be valid. [verso] [Loan to Dionysios] from Hermias, 150 artabas of wheat.

About this record's data
  • From the source institution — accession, description, dimensions, and dating are as catalogued by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
  • AI-inferred — the image-analysis panel (deities, names, signs) is machine-generated and may be wrong.
  • Approximate location — most map points are plotted at the site centroid, not the exact findspot.
  • Inferred links — cross-references marked with a match method other than explicit-source-field were matched by us, not stated by the source.
  • Inherited across the Trismegistos spine — a Trismegistos ID names one ancient text, and papyrology splits that text's description across databases: the edition in one, the date and provenance in another, the physical papyrus in a third. Fields tagged via … on this page were read from a sibling record under the same TM number, not asserted by Papyri.info — DDbDP (Duke Databank of Documentary Papyri) — text.
