[recto] Year 53, Choiak 15, at Pathyris, before Heliodoros, agoranomos. Kaies son of Pates, Persian of the epigone, has lent to Harpaesis son of Portis, Persian of the epigone, 25 artabas of wheat. Let the borrower repay this loan to Kaies in the month of Pachon of year 53, new and clean, delivered to his house at his own expense, by the measure with which he also received it. If he does not repay within the fixed time, let him pay at once one and a half times the price that will prevail in the market. And let Kaies have the right of execution upon Harpaesis and upon all his property, as if by a court judgment. [I, Areios, deputy of Heliodoros, have registered it.] [verso] Loan of Kaies to Harpaesis, 25 (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.
