I acknowledge that I have received from you as a loan, from hand to hand out of your house, two talents and four thousand drachmas of silver of the coinage of the Augusti, total 2 talents 4000 drachmas, which I will of necessity repay to you by the second of Pachon of the present year 16, 14, 6, without any delay or evasion; otherwise I will pay you for the overdue time the interest agreed between us for each mina for each month, you having the right of execution against me and against all my property. This bond, written in duplicate, is valid wherever it is produced and for anyone who produces it on your behalf, and having been asked the formal question I gave my assent.

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.
