[recto] In the year after the consulship of Flavius Eusebius, vir clarissimus, for the 2nd time, Choiak 2, indiction 4, at Oxyrhynchus. To Flavius Apphous, vir clarissimus, tribune, son of Eulogios of most excellent memory, from the illustrious and most illustrious city of the Oxyrhynchites, Aurelius Theon son of Ioannes, his mother being Herakleia, pastry-cook (?), from the same city, greetings. I acknowledge by this my written security that I have received from you as a loan, from hand to hand out of your house, for my own pressing need, 2 single imperial solidi of gold of good quality, in number two, total 2 gold solidi, on condition that I supply and pay to your nobility as interest on them, until the term stated below, the lawful interest of one per cent per month on them without fail; which interest and the principal itself I shall of necessity repay to your excellency: one gold coin in the month of Tybi of the current year 172/141 of the present fourth indiction, with the interest, and the other in the month of Hathyr of the coming year 173/142 of the fifth indiction, God willing, with the interest, without delay and without any dispute, lawsuit or trial; and it shall not be permitted, when each term arrives, to defer repayment or to ask for another extension, nor to claim to have paid anything of this debt without written receipts and a joint receipt, or before the return of this my bond; but you shall have the right of execution against me and against all my property. This bond, written in a single copy, is valid, and in answer to the formal question I gave my assent. I, Aurelius Theon son of Ioannes, pastry-cook (?), the aforesaid, have received the 2 gold solidi of principal and shall repay them at the terms with the interest, and everything written herein is agreeable to me as stated above, and in answer to the formal question I gave my assent and released the document. I, Apphouas, lector, son of Philoxenos, having been asked, wrote on his behalf because he does not know letters. ☧ Through me, Thot, written, Choiak 2, indiction 4 […] [verso] […]

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.
