p.giss.1.53 IVHermopolis (?)

Gelddarlehensschuldschein via HGV-meta

Acknowledgement of a loan of 4 gold solidi with interest. The end of a loan acknowledgement in which Aurelius Demetrios son of Phibion confirms receiving 4 gold solidi and promises to repay them with interest whenever the lender asks. Because Demetrios was illiterate, the professional contract-writer Aurelius Hermogenes signed for him. It dates to the 4th century AD and probably comes from Hermopolis. machine translation

[...] of the current [...] indiction, without delay, until repayment of the aforesaid 4 solidi, which I will also repay to you whenever you wish, together with the interest that will accrue, without any dispute, the right of execution lying with you against me and against all my property, as if by a court judgment. This document is valid, which I have also issued to you for security, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent. Mecheir 23. I, Aurelius Demetrios son of Phibion, the aforesaid, have received the 4 solidi of the gold capital and will repay them with the interest as stated above. I, Aurelius Hermogenes, contract-writer, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters. And it was written through me, Hermogenes son of Hermon.

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.
