[Year 5, …, at Hermopolis]
[in the Thebaid. Dioskourides …], Macedonian, […] has lent [to Dionysios son of Kephalas], Persian of the epigone, [and to] his mother Demetria also called Senabellis, daughter of Heliodoros also called Herieus, Persian woman, with her guardian Dionysios the aforementioned, 142 [artabas] of solid wheat, which the borrowers owed in addition to Dioskourides from contracts concluded with him, [which are cancelled] together with this contract. The borrowers shall repay the wheat without interest to Dioskourides or to his agents in the month [Loios, which] is Pauni of the fifth year, solid wheat, [new], clean, unadulterated, by the measure tested against the bronze standard, and they shall deliver it to the [harbour] at Akoris at their own expense. [If they do not repay as] written, the borrowers shall pay [to Dioskourides or to] his agents as the value [of each artaba] 3,000 [bronze] drachmas; [and the right of execution shall belong] to Dioskourides and [to his agents for what is due under] the contract, both against [the borrowers themselves], against one or [both, and against whichever] of them he chooses, and against all their property, [as if by] a court judgment. The borrowers themselves are mutual guarantors for repayment of the wheat or of the [written] value. This contract shall be valid.

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.
