[recto] To Protarchos, the official in charge of the court, from Achilleus son of Theon, of the deme Althaieus, and from Lyka daughter of Zoilos, Persian woman, with her guardian, her husband Dionysios son of Ptolemaios, Persian of the Epigone, and from Dionysios himself. Lyka and Dionysios acknowledge that they have received from Achilleus a loan, from hand to hand out of his house, of 310 drachmas of Ptolemaic silver, on which they will pay interest of 8 obols per mina each month from Hathyr of the present 26th year of Caesar, and they will repay the principal within 3 months from the same month without any delay; otherwise they shall be liable to immediate arrest, or whichever of them appears, and be held in custody until they pay the loan with an addition of one half, and the interest at the simple rate, and for the time overdue the interest of 2 drachmas according to the ordinance, Achilleus having the right of execution against the debtors, who are mutually guarantors for payment, and against any one of them he chooses, and against all their property, as if by a court judgment, all guarantees and every protection they may put forward being invalid. We request (this). I, Achilleus, agree according to the above terms. We, Lyka and Dionysios, agree according to the above terms. I, Dionysios, have signed as guardian of my wife (?) and have written on her behalf, since she does 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.
