An agreement submitted to Protarchos, the official in charge of the court at Alexandria, by three men who had jointly borrowed 600 drachmas at interest.

To Protarchos from Tryphon son of Tryphon and from Pompeius son of Pompeius and Ptolemaios son of Philokles, both Persians of the Epigone. Since we three have borrowed from […] son of […] also called (?) Pamphilos, under a memorandum contract in the present seventeenth year of Caesar, in Phamenoth, 600 drachmas of Ptolemaic silver, bearing interest, also by bank transfer through the money-changing bank of Kastor, and of this sum Pompeius has used 520 drachmas of silver and Ptolemaios the remaining 80 drachmas, we agree on these terms: that each shall repay the capital that is in his own hands to the […] together with the interest within the time indicated in the contract; and that both shall guarantee that Tryphon is not pressed for payment on account of the loan, and each of them shall guarantee the other regarding the capital he has used; and that they shall pay whatever the other is made to pay or is pressed to pay on this account, with interest and the damages and the costs, execution being made upon the party in breach and upon all his property, as if by a court judgement, all guarantees which he may bring forward being invalid, as well as every protection. Year 17 of Caesar, Pharmouthi 5.

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.
