[Panebd]ys (?), whose mother is Aria, the two of us from the village of […]reus, each surety for the other for payment, acknowledge that we have received as a loan
[from] Herakleios also called Aspidas, former gymnasiarch, son of Kollouthos, former gymnasiarch, of Herakleopolis, of silver
[of imperial] coinage, a principal of 1,000 drachmas, total 1,000 drachmas, at interest of one drachma
[on each] mina per month,
[which we will also] repay to you in the coming month
[Thoth of the] coming thirty-second
[year of Aur]elius Commodus Antoninus
[Caesar] the lord, without delay, the
[right of execution] being yours and your agents' against
[both of us] or against either one of us, or
[against whichever] you choose to proceed against,
[and against] all our property of every kind, as if by legal judgment.
[The loan contract], witnessed by six, is valid.
[…] I wrote on their behalf, since they do not know letters.

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.
