To Protarchos
from Platon son of Theodoros and from Ptolemaios son of Zenon, Persian of the Epigone, and his wife Selene daughter of Ptolemaios, Persian woman, with her guardian, her husband. Concerning the matters agreed: Ptolemaios and Selene acknowledge that they have received from Platon a loan, from hand to hand out of his house, of 112 drachmas of Ptolemaic silver, at interest of 2 drachmas on the 112 drachmas per month, which they will also repay within six months from Pachon of the present 17th year of Caesar, paying the interest monthly and punctually and the principal in the last month without any delay; otherwise they are to be liable to arrest at once and held in custody until they pay the loan with one-half added and the interest simply, and for the time overrun the same rate, execution being available to Platon against the debtors, who are mutual sureties for payment, both against one and against whichever of them he chooses, and against all their property, as if by a court judgment, all guarantees and every protection that they may invoke being invalid. We request (this).

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.
